Detroit Jews For Justice

Snapped by the ineffable Ben Friedman (thank you!), photos from our 4th Annual Purim Extravaganza can be found here.

Our 4th Annual Purim Extravaganza happened last week -- check out some folks' reflections here.

On May 11th, 2019, DJJ will receive the Unsung Hero Award from the National Lawyers Guild Detroit & Michigan Chapter!

Reconstructing Judaism's Reset 2019 will be providing year-long support for DJJ staff and our comrades at Avodah and JOIN for Justice. Reset aims to bolster the resilience of social justice leaders and their organizations, so that we can better pursue our work in a spirit and environment of balance, compassion, optimism, sustainability and energy.

On the first weekend of March, a few of us flew to the Twin Cities to attend the Midwest & South Convening of Tzedek Lab. Here are some of our reflections on our experiences...

We work hard to shift the balance of power, or in Purim lingo, nahafokhu -- we strive to turn things upside down. Because we fight uphill battles, the experience of winning too often eludes us.
