Detroit Jews For Justice

DJJ leaders did an awesome job teaching some of the sessions at the Tikkun Leil Shavuot event hosted by Congregation T'chiyah and the Downtown Synagogue.

The past 5 months of evaluation and organizational assessment have proved fruitful in a number of areas. Read on for information about the process and the new hire!

Hi DJJ,

I'm Jacob (he/him) and I'm excited to be interning at DJJ this summer.

Since Eleanor Gamalski left the staff team in January, Susannah Goodman has been facilitating an incredible transition team of DJJ leaders and friends with deep movement experience to restructure our staff team. Check out the process these folks used and the insights they generated here. 

Dear friends,

This past weekend, we received an incredible honor. DJJ accepted the "Unsung Hero" award from our local National Lawyers Guild at their 82nd Anniversary Dinner. It was surreal: listening to Julie's glowing introduction, hearing Rashida's appreciation, and witnessing a standing ovation... can it really be that in a few short years we have earned this kind of respect from Detroit's justice community?

Rabbi Moshe Givental recently travelled to the UK to join the Extinction Rebellion protests.

On May Day DJJ stood in solidarity with Good Jobs Now, a member of the Coalition to End Unconstitutional Tax Foreclosures, to protest the needless displacement caused by tax foreclosure.
