SUMMARY:Fund Our Future Canvass in Ward 3 with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Jewish tradition teaches that in a just world\, all people — no matter the color of our skin\, where we are from\, or how much money we have — would have what the Torah calls dei machsoro\, resources sufficient for our needs. But in DC\, the people with the most money are not paying their fair share to help meet the needs of their neighbors. We have a chance to change that this fall. Join JUFJ’s Fund Our Futures campaign as we and our partners work to pass a wealth tax before the end of the year so that everyone in our city has what we need to live a dignified life. \nJUFJ and our partners at Washington Interfaith Network and the DC Fair Budget Coalition are canvassing wealthy residents in Ward 3 to ask them to support this campaign. Join us on October 5 or 11 as we talk to JUFJers about what their tax dollars can support\, from childcare to housing to transit and so much more! \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Jews United for Justice \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Forging a More Perfect Union: American Jews & Democracy w/ Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Journey through the history of American Jewish political activism in the 20th and 21st centuries. \nIn this 250th year since American independence\, Professor Lauren Strauss goes beyond theoretical discussions about the nation’s founding to focus on the many ways that Jewish Americans have engaged politically. From the streets to the courts to Capitol Hill\, Jews in the U.S.—especially in Washington\, DC—have helped to redefine what it means to live in a democracy.  \n  \nPresented in partnership with Moment Magazine. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nLauren Strauss teaches Jewish history and literature at American University in Washington\, DC\, and is Director of Undergraduate Studies for AU’s Jewish Studies Program.  A scholar of American Jewish political and cultural history\, Strauss is completing her book Painting the Town Red: Jewish Visual Artists\, Yiddish Culture\, and Radical Politics in Interwar New York.  Her next book will explore the political activism of DC Jews and the relationship between American Jews and democracy.  She lectures widely\, is a commentator at Jewish cultural events and in the press\, and has served as historian for several museum exhibits.  She is also active in “shared society” groups that focus on Arab-Jewish relations in Israel\, and in Black-Jewish dialogue groups in the DC area.\nCost Range: $5 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Certificate Program Begins: American-Israeli Relationship w/ Hudson Institute
DESCRIPTION:Our policy certificate programs aim to give participants practical knowledge of key policy areas. Over four days in Washington\, candidates engage with the theory and practice of politics and wrestle with the complexity of contemporary policy issues.\nRecent trends have made many Americans doubt the contributions of the Jewish faith\, people\, and homeland to liberal democracy\, as well as the importance of a strong American-Israeli alliance to our national security. This program asks whether support for Israel is essential to our national security and liberal democracy more broadly. Seminars take up the Hebrew Bible\, American history\, and IR theory. Finally\, a review of the rationale for Operation Epic Fury is followed by an exercise simulating further crisis in the Middle East. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Hudson Institute Political Studies \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Fund Our Futures Campaign Kickoff with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:In a just world\, all people — no matter the color of our skin\, where we are from\, or how much money we have — would have what the Torah calls dei machsoro\, resources sufficient for our needs. But in DC\, the people and corporations with the most money are not paying their fair share to help meet the needs of their neighbors. We have a chance to change that this fall so DC can fund an ambitious agenda when the new Mayor takes office in January. Join JUFJ’s Fund Our Futures campaign kickoff to be part of the movement to pass a wealth tax this year and shape the actions we can take together. \nFrom education to housing to paid leave to public transit\, the things that we need to have a bright future are all within reach\, if we have a tax system that recognizes and taxes wealth. JUFJ and our partners want to make sure the Council acts with real vision and shows the new Mayor that they can be a partner\, not an opponent\, as we build the DC we all deserve. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Jews United for Justice \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
