Following recent events at the U.S. Capitol building, the URJ hosted a live online event exploring the systemic change we need on the local, state, and federal levels to confront systemic racism and repair our national fabric. Watch a recording and find resources for use in congregations and Jewish communities, as well as by families and individual, in our shared pursuit of justice.
Our state-based affiliates in California, Illinois, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas build power, mobilize congregations and engage the Reform Jewish community nationwide in the pursuit of justice.
The Reform Movement works in partnership with representatives from diverse communities to fight the structural racism that is embedded in our society and to advance justice for all people.
The Social Justice Academy and Leadership Development Programs provide meaningful opportunities for high school students.

Urge Congress to support an equitable public health and economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is the most severe public health and economic crisis in a century. The U.S. has reported the most cases and deaths in the world and tens of millions are facing unemployment, food scarcity, and housing insecurity due to the economic fallout from the pandemic. Urge Congress to support communities most vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Support the Study and Development of Reparations for Slavery and Systemic Racism
The ongoing wounds of slavery and more than four centuries of entrenched racial oppression continues to impact every part of American society. Systemic disparities and injustices will endure unless proactive steps are taken to acknowledge and eliminate them. Urge your elected officials to cosponsor the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act (S. 1083/H.R. 40).
