DJJ is building Jewish political communities we can be proud of—communities based on local and intergenerational relationships, that practice solidarity with all oppressed people, and that embody the world we want to live in. We are building Jewish spaces that center the young, queer, non-white, and disabled among us. We are following the lead of movements of other marginalized groups, and building deep coalitions.  In order to do all of this well, we need resources.

DJJ relies on its extended community for a substantial portion of our budget because we need to, but also because it reflects DJJ's commitment to letting our community guide the organization.  If you value the work of local, progressive, Jewish political organizing, donate today!

Thank you so much for your generous gift! Your support makes this work possible.
