When WAMU laid off 16 people and closed DCist, the reasoning given was “content strategy word salad," per one staffer. @abeaujon cuts through the jargon and nonsense with a deeply reported, excellent look at what actually happened: washingtonian.com/2024/04/19…

Some new work of mine for @jufj! Wishing all of you a sweet New Year ❤️✡️
The Rosh Hashanah shofar sounds a wake up call in short, broken blasts, held together at the end by one long, full blast of raucous joy. This year, may we stay awake to the brokenness around us as we are held together by the fullness of our JUFJ community. Shanah tovah!

Jews and labor rights go together like apples and honey. The fight for better wages, fair pay, paid leave, and workplace safety are fundamental to justice. We are honored to be in solidarity with unions across DC + MD, and JUFJ staff are proud members of @NonprofitUnion @IFPTE.

As pioneering labor organizer Rose Schneiderman said, “The worker must have bread, but she must have roses too.” 🍞🌹In that spirit we're signing off for the long weekend to rest as every worker should be able to do. Take time this weekend to celebrate labor and all it creates.

Love love love to see orgs representing progressive Jews speaking as a coalition, showing cohesion and power. I know y'all talk a lot and it's nice to see a bloc out front like this.
As orgs representing progressive Jews across the US on the frontlines of the fight against antisemitism, racism & white nationalism, we celebrate the Biden admin’s release of its National Strategy Document on antisemitism. Read our joint statement: jfrej.org/jointstatement

The Senate’s vote on the criminal code was a setback for statehood, of course, but it also revealed an ugly reality about crime politics in America. Fear easily trumped facts these last few weeks. It shows how little has changed post-George Floyd: washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…

JUFJ is closed for the federal holidays on 12/26 and 1/2, and many of our staff (including the Communications team) will be out of office in between. We look forward to being back online in 2023! Shabbat shalom, and happy holidays!

Vote for #Initiative82. And also ask yourself why we hear so much about fare evasion, and so little about wage theft
Thompson Hospitality's Matchbox Food Group was found to owe $142,551 in unpaid wages to employees. Just while we're on the topic of things that undermine the ability of tipped employees to earn high wages and achieve success 🫢

Two promises: 1️⃣ You will never catch us questioning the ‘legitimacy’ of another Jew’s Jewishness. Not gonna happen. All Jews are Jewish! 2️⃣ You will definitely catch us canvassing for our 2022 slate of candidates. Join us! jewishvote.org/gotv
At JFREJ, we affirm that all Jews...are Jewish! We draw meaning & power from a plurality of relationships to Judaism. Most of us find the juiciest inspiration at intersections of a few: historical, cultural, religious, political, familial. It’s nice! More people should try it 😎

Why did 97% percent of @domesticworkers’ staff union vote to authorize a strike? B/c we’ve been bargaining our 1st contract for OVER A YEAR, management has consistently dragged their feet + told us fair wages will hurt the organization RT if you support NDWA’s staff! @aijenpoo

We rarely do endorsements but we felt that the Ward 1 race was important for us to weigh in on. @BrianneKN has consistently shown up for migrant communities during her time in office. Therefore we are endorsing her in the June 21 primary. Read our full statement below:

We have very good reason to believe the Ward 5 race is and will be close. Do not take for granted the opportunity we have to move Ward 5 forward. It is still very possible to slip backward. Help make calls: mobilize.us/friendsofzachary… Help knock doors: mobilize.us/friendsofzachary… – at Washington, DC
