About JUFJJews United for Justice mobilizes Jews and the Jewish community to move our region closer to social, racial, and economic justice by advancing campaigns for immediate and concrete improvements in people’s lives. Through these campaigns we develop leaders, build our base, shift the consciousness of our community, and alter relations of power. In all cases, we seek to work in partnership with organizations made up of and/or accountable to those who have personal experience with the challenges we are hoping to address. We have helped win higher minimum wages, paid family leave, police accountability, affordable housing, and many other progressive policies. We continue to move resources and power into the hands of people of color who have been systematically blocked out of the political process to benefit the ultra-wealthy and their interests. To power our advocacy efforts, we build a Jewish community that is dedicated to pursuing justice, understands the key issues in our city and region, and that has the tools and skills to make change.[Submitter's Note: The goals documented in this StratML rendition are taken from JUFJ's profile on GuideStar: https://www.guidestar.org/profile/52-2346578]Jews United for JusticeJUFJ_5b47a784-8a73-11eb-b098-e8f72283ea00Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) was created in April, 1998 by a small group of Jews in the greater Washington, DC area.Drawing on a tradition of Jewish commitment to justice and the talents and dedication of our leaders, JUFJ is a grassroots community that seeks to repair the world by working locally for social, racial, and economic justice.Baltimore-Washington RegionOne day, everyone in the Washington-Baltimore region will have what they need to live and thrive, and a real voice in democracy, no matter the color of their skin, where they are from, or how much money they have.GovernmentOur government will focus on equity and justice, and will respond to the needs of poor and working people, whether Black, brown, or white, who had once been systemically barred from resources and power.Jewish CommunityWe work so that our Jewish community is a proud and valued partner in bringing about that day through multiracial, multifaith, cross-class movements working for social, racial, and economic justice...Jews United for Justice advances economic, racial, and social justice in the Baltimore-Washington region by educating and mobilizing our local Jewish communities to action.Working-Class PeopleWe move our region closer to equity and justice by advancing issue-based campaigns that make real, immediate, and concrete improvements in people’s lives and build the power of working-class and poor communities of color.Poor Communities of ColorThrough these campaigns we develop leaders, build our Jewish grassroots community, shift the consciousness of our community, and build the collective power needed to undo systemic racism and inequality.JUJF StaffJACOB FEINSPANEXECUTIVE DIRECTORRABBI ELIZABETH RICHMANDEPUTY DIRECTOR AND RABBI IN RESIDENCEMOLLY AMSTERBALTIMORE DIRECTORLAURA ALLENPROGRAM ASSISTANTSAM BALTIMORECOMMUNICATIONS MANAGERJOANNA BLOTNERLEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR, DC FAMILY AND ECONOMIC SECURITY CAMPAIGNSCHASE CARTEROPERATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATEELIANNA COOPERMONTGOMERY COUNTY COMMUNITY ORGANIZER & AVODAH CORPS MEMBERHANNAH GARELICKDC COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, PROGRAM ASSISTANT, & AVODAH CORPS MEMBERMARGO HARVEYMONTGOMERY COUNTY INTERNCARLA HASHLEYASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENTJILL HERTZLERDIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENTAMANDA KOPPELMAN-MILSTEINGRANT WRITERAMY LIEBEREXECUTIVE AND SPECIAL PROJECTS ASSISTANTRIANNA LLOYDCOMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATESARAH NOVICKDC SENIOR ORGANIZERWHITNEY PORTERDIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIONWENDEL RUBINSTEINDC COMMUNITY ORGANIZERDEVORAH STAVISKYMONTGOMERY COUNTY COMMUNITY ORGANIZERLAURA WALLACEMONTGOMERY COUNTY SENIOR ORGANIZERMATAN ZEIMERBALTIMORE COMMUNITY ORGANIZEREveryone in the Washington-Baltimore region has what they need to live and thrive_5b47a8ec-8a73-11eb-b098-e8f72283ea00To advance economic, racial, and social justice in the Baltimore-Washington region_5b47a9a0-8a73-11eb-b098-e8f72283ea00TalentDedicationSocial JusticeRacial JusticeEconomic JusticeJewishnessTHINK JEWISHLY.
