CJJ Action Hour: Now With Bagels

Join your fellow D/OC CJJniks for biweekly bagels and action hour!

We are excited to invite you to join us every other Sunday for a civic engagement-related action hour over bagels. We've seen some incredible challenges come at our community lately, and sometimes it's hard to see how anything we do to push back can have an effect.  But as Jews, we have a tradition that values communal responsibility, and as organizers, we know that victories are often achieved by many small efforts adding up to something big.

Let's take some time this summer to do lots of little things that add up to something big.  At each action hour, we'll spend a little time getting to know each other better over bagels, and then we'll work on an activity that helps us and our coalition partners to build power, especially when it comes to supporting the enfranchisement of communities of color. We have provided our care and support to partners including the New North Carolina Project, Durham Tech, and NC League of Conservation Voters so far this summer. 

This week we will take lead from Reclaim Our Vote by writing postcards to Black people and people of color across North Carolina whose access to the ballot box has been historically restricted and eat bagels. 

This hybrid event will be held in person and on Zoom. Register below to receive location information and link to the Zoom. See our policy regarding harm reduction and COVID transmission at this link.
