from Uri L'Tzedek: Orthodox Social Justice · host Uri L'Tzedek

Join the Executive Director of A More Perfect Union Aaron Dorfman for a class addressing the dire need for the Jewish community to organize and protect our democracy. Learn why Jewish communities across the country are coming together to protect our vote!  - Action plans from our friends at A More Perfect Union - First, you can encourage Jewish institutions with which you’re affiliated – synagogues, camps, day schools, etc. – to join A More Perfect Union by making a concrete commitment to engage in pro-democracy work. The work to protect and strengthen democracy relies on all of us, and our community – and our country – will be stronger with a larger and more diverse network of civil society organizations working across differences in pursuit of this shared commitment. See our Commitment Design Guide for inspiration on expanding opportunities for civic learning; ensuring free, fair, safe, and accessible elections; and promoting ideological pluralism.Second, you can take action now as an individual. A More Perfect Union has compiled a list of resources and recommendations for individuals looking to take action to protect and strengthen democracy.Third, you can build your own capacity to communicate to prevent violence. This linked resource, prepared by OverZero in partnership with A More Perfect Union, helps readers understand the narratives often used to justify violence, what happens in our brains when we hear these narratives, and how to reframe toward peaceful action.Fourth, you can join RumorGuard to help combat mis-, dis-, and misinformation (MDM). RumorGuard was developed by our partners at the News Literacy Project (NLP), a nonpartisan education nonprofit. Sign up to help educate yourself and your community about MDM.Fifth, you can check out Democracy Ballot, a menu of options to expand your civic engagement through service and education in support of free, fair, safe, and accessible elections. Democracy Ballot was created by our partners at Repair the World.STAY CONNECTED:Website: utzedek.org Newsletter: utzedek.org/subscribeFacebook: facebook.com/uriltzedekYouTube:   / @uriltzedek1140   Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/uri-ltzedek/id1603706369 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/4sqRoloAYDiI84oFlBd7q4?si=f414b018ae334706Donate: utzedek.org/donate
