2020 Brit Olam Virtual Training Series: Moving Your Community into Action

Since the 2019 Consultation on Conscience, Reform Jewish communities across North America have been deeply engaged in the work of the Brit Olam, through issues-based cohorts and RAC state projects. This past winter, the RAC hosted a three-part series of virtual trainings focused on community organizing and civic engagement work, designed to help leaders strengthen their social justice toolkit and ensure their readiness to participate in our Reform Movement 2020 Civic Engagement Campaign.

We are thrilled to be able to share the training recordings and corresponding materials as additional resources to support your community’s civic engagement efforts.
