Think Jewishly, Act Locally: Budgets are Moral Documents with JUFJ February 18, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Northern Virginia Jewish Funerals 8453 Tyco Rd Suite D, Vienna, Virginia, United States A city's budget says a lot more than any politician's speeches about what is truly valued by the people we elect to represent us. Whether it's how much money is allocated towards eradicating homelessness or for job growth; helping increase education equity or support families; voters have the power to advocate for how the budget is allocated. Join organizers from Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) to learn about DC's budget process, past victories for social justice won through budget campaigns, and what you can do right now to ensure that next year's city budget reflects the Jewish social justice values that many of us share. Dinner will be provided as part of this evening. This workshop is geared towards teens and adults. If you have any questions, please contact Sonya at sweisburd@edcjcc.org.
