Antisemitism, Unions, and the Fight for American Democracy Today

Thank You for Joining the JCPA and JLC for this discussion of Antisemitism, Unions, and the Fight for American Democracy Today. 

Thank you for being part of this important conversation on antisemitism, labor, and democracy. As we discussed during the program, confronting antisemitism, strengthening Jewish safety, and the rights of workers to form and join unions all requires strong partnerships, education, and sustained engagement. Below are ways to stay connected and continue this work.

Upcoming Events: JLC Labor Seders

Each year, for many years, the JLC organizes and co-sponsors Labor Seders in a number of communities across the country – each in its own way bringing together labor, Jewish communal, and civic partners, in an exploration of Jewish tradition, workers’ rights, social justice, and, of course, food!

For those in the Greater Boston area, you’re invited to join the New England JLC annual Labor Seder on March 22nd.  It’ll be at the IBEW Local 103 Function Hall, in Dorchester, MA.   For more details, write to Jonathon Feinberg or visit newenglandjewishlabor.org.

And for those in the Greater Newark area, you’re invited to join the New Jersey JLC Annual Labor Seder on March 26th, at the headquarters of the New Jersey district of SEIU 32BJ.  For more details, write to Martin Schwartz.

If you’re interested in the possibility of a Labor Seder in your community – or if you’d like a copy of the Jewish Labor Committee Passover Haggadah –contact
Executive Director Arieh Lebowitz.
