Mission: Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) leads Washington-area Jews to act on our shared Jewish values by pursuing justice and equality in our local community. JUFJ was founded in the spring of 1998 by a group of long-time Jewish activists and younger union and community organizers who were inspired by a class on the social justice teachings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. JUFJ builds relationships and mobilizes the Jewish community through educational forums, programs and advocacy campaigns. We demand and win meaningful change for all area residents on economic and racial justice issues like workers' and immigrants' rights, affordable housing, and fair city budgets.

I have been a volunteer with JUFJ in DC for the past two and a half years. I was drawn to JUFJ because I wanted to get involved with working for local change in DC. JUFJ is an incredibly effective organization in organizing for legislative and policy change in support of racial, economic, and social justice in DC, Baltimore, Montgomery County, and statewide in Maryland.

JUFJ is also excellent at engaging volunteers - whether you just want to volunteer with them occasionally or you are looking for a more serious volunteer commitment that will build leadership and other skills, JUFJ's organizers are great at finding an opportunity that will work for you.
