About

Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) was created in April, 1998 by a small group of Jews in the greater Washington, DC area.

Drawing on a tradition of Jewish commitment to justice and the talents and dedication of their leaders, JUFJ is a grassroots community that seeks to repair the world by working locally for social, racial, and economic justice.

Jews United for Justice mobilizes Jews and the Jewish community to move their region closer to social, racial, and economic justice by advancing campaigns for immediate and concrete improvements in people’s lives. Through these campaigns they develop leaders, build their base, shift the consciousness of their community, and alter relations of power. In all cases, they seek to work in partnership with organizations made up of and/or accountable to those who have personal experience with the challenges they are hoping to address. They have helped win higher minimum wages, paid family leave, police accountability, affordable housing, and many other progressive policies. They continue to move resources and power into the hands of people of color who have been systematically blocked out of the political process to benefit the ultra-wealthy and their interests. To power their advocacy efforts, they build a Jewish community that is dedicated to pursuing justice, understands the key issues in their region, and that has the tools and skills to make change.
