Gun Violence is a Jewish Issue!  

JDWA and DJOP Celebrate PRIDE with Purpose and Activism   June is Pride Month, a time to recognize LGBTQ+ visibility, progress, and achievement. Unfortunately, this year we also face escalating political assaults on the LGBTQ+ community–including kids, parents, and teachers. It’s time to recognize the fight for full equality; it is a call to action, as President Biden has said, that “continues to inspire us to live up to our nation’s promise of equality, liberty, and justice for all.” JDWA invites you to Celebrating PRIDE with Purpose and Activism on Thursday, June 16th, at 4:00pm ET with three notable LGBTQ+…

June 12th talk we are organizing with the Jewish Battleground Coalition focused on how white supremacists and domestic terrorists threaten future American elections.

DJOP invites you to an evening with David Daley, author of Rat F**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America’s Democracy.

State Senator Daylin Leach will be our moderator. Leach is currently running in the…

Incumbent Republican Pat Meehan is expected to face a highly competitive re-election battle in 2018. For one thing, when the president’s party controls the House, it typically faces an uphill battle retaining control in midterm elections. Furthermore, despite Meehan’s attempts to portray himself as not beholden…
