Our Mission

Guided by Jewish values, CJJ organizes communities and builds coalitions to defend democracy and create a North Carolina where every person can thrive.

Our Foundation

Carolina Jews for Justice (CJJ) stands at the intersection of Jewish values and social justice, grounded in the Torah's insistence that every person is created in the image of God. We carry forward the prophetic tradition that demands justice—Isaiah's call to let the oppressed go free, Micah's charge to do justly, and to love mercy. Our work is rooted in the understanding that our liberation is bound up with the liberation of all who are oppressed.

Our Vision

We envision a North Carolina where democracy is strong and protected; where multiracial and interfaith coalitions defend justice together; where every person's dignity is honored; and where no community faces oppression.

A North Carolina where the prophetic call to justice echoes through our laws, our schools, and our communities, and where every act of solidarity strengthens the fabric of freedom.

Our Work

Founded in March 2013, Carolina Jews for Justice combines advocacy and education to organize a non-partisan Jewish voice for justice in North Carolina. We work to influence policy at the local and state levels and encourage individuals and Jewish institutions to take a stand on important issues in our community.
