The Committee’s goal is to apply Jewish values to the injustices we face in our community and beyond. Our work is non-partisan. Currently we are working with three organizations that we believe can help us achieve our goal.
Please contact any of our liaisons if you are interested in joining our group or if you would like to be contacted to participate in action items.

Marx, z’l, over 60 years ago, JCUA advances social and economic justice and works to protect immigrants and minorities in Chicago and the suburbs.
