SUMMARY:Mobilize for the Future with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Trump’s occupation of DC has been shocking and horrifying – for immigrants\, unhoused people\, youth of color who are brutally targeted by federal agents\, and for everyone in DC who cares about their neighbors and communities. It’s important and urgent to galvanize our community members behind the demands of the moment! That’s why on Sunday\, September 28th\, JUFJ is hosting this community meeting for Jews across the District to: \n– Come together and take stock of the moment we’re in\n– Ground in community\, art and song\n– Discuss our strategies to support our neighbors’ immediate needs\n– Learn about opportunities to take powerful action. \nAs we head into the Jewish New Year we are asked to heed the call to reflect\, repent and renew\, and ultimately turn that call into action. So\, whether you’ve been active with JUFJ for years or you heard about us for the first time last week\, this event is for you. \nLight Kosher vegetarian refreshments will be provided. All ages are welcome; there

SUMMARY:American Red Cross Blood Drive with Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims\, heart surgery and organ transplant patients\, and those battling cancer. In fact\, every two seconds\, someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is likely that you or someone you know will need a blood transfusion in your lifetime. \nDue to recent drastic shortfalls of donations over the last several weeks\, donors of all blood types are critically needed\, especially those with type O blood. \nThe blood donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about an hour. The donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average. In order to qualify for whole blood donation\, you must be in good health and feeling well\, at least 16 years of age (with signed parental consent) and weigh at least 110 lbs. Additional eligibility criteria apply\, including certain medications\, medical conditions\, travel to certain countries\, and personal history.  \nPre-registered participants only. No walk-ins.

SUMMARY:A Lag B'Omer Campfire and Phonebank with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join JUFJ for Lag B’Omer on May 15th from 7:00 PM-8:30 PM as we enjoy a bonfire and phonebank to mobilize our community around DC Council’s budget process. This event combines some of our favorite things: Jewish ritual\, progressive organizing\, being together as a community\, and FIRE (in a safe and controlled environment!) Pay equity for early childhood educators\, investing in safe communities by making sure everyone has a roof over the head\, and so much more is at stake. Through collective action\, we have the power to shape how our tax dollars are spent to be more in line with our values. That’s why we’ll be asking our friends and other JUFJers to advocate for funding for key programs as the Council shapes next year’s local budget. Campfire-appropriate snacks will be provided. Location will be sent out ahead of the event.
