Role Networks

The JFREJ Role Network is a new way for JFREJ members to develop relevant skills that allow them to hold a wide range of roles, and participate more fully, across JFREJ campaigns and programs

The JFREJ Role Network is a new and experimental way for JFREJ members to develop skills that allow them to hold a wide range of roles, and participate more fully, across JFREJ campaigns and programs. Members of the role network will be invited to participate in skills-based trainings a few times throughout the year to hone relevant skills.

JFREJ members are welcome to express interest and participate in as many role networks as they want, depending on the number of movement hats they like to wear! By signing up for the role network, members will get to hear about opportunities to participate and take action across JFREJ campaigns through the following role networks, which we are working to build out in 5783/2023:

  • Art, Culture & Ritual: This role network is the hub for artists, cultural workers, and ritual leaders who make our movement irresistible. Members of this role network will hear about opportunities across our organization to collaborate on movement artwork and ritual, as well as opportunities to participate in trainings on things like song and ritual-leading. To learn more, please email shoshana@jfrej.org.

  • Community Safety & Security: This role network is the hub for the agitators and troublemakers who love to pray with their feet and know the tricks to pulling off a powerful direct action. Members of this role network will get opportunities to plan direct actions, participate in rapid response, plan for outreach and recruitment during actions, and attend trainings in order to become security volunteers on or offline, marshals, and police negotiators. To learn more, please email shoshana@jfrej.org.

  • Facilitation: This role network will be the hub for our movement weavers who help us see how it's all connected.
