Organizations Filed Purposes: JEWISH COMMUNITY ACTION'S MISSION IS TO BRING TOGETHER JEWISH PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE TRADITIONS AND PERSPECTIVES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING AND TAKE ACTION ON RADICAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE ISSUES IN MINNESOTA.

JEWISH COMMUNITY ACTION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION MADE UP OF JEWS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING & MORTGAGE JUSTICE: OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING CAMPAIGN HAS FOCUSED ON THE SUBURBS OF HENNEPIN COUNTY, PASSING POLICY AT THE CITY LEVEL TO PROTECT RENTERS, ESPECIALLY IN LOW WEALTH AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. WORKING IN A COALITION WITH HOUSING ADVOCATES, TENANTS' RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS, AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, WE PASSED TENANT PROTECTION ORDINANCES REQUIRING RENTERS BE GIVEN AT LEAST 3 MONTHS NOTICE BEFORE AN EVICTION OR A RENT INCREASE BASED ON A CHANGE OF BUILDING OWNERSHIP. THIS HAS IMPACTED THOUSANDS OF RENTERS IN THE WESTERN TWIN CITIES SUBURBS, AND AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE OBTAINED SEED FUNDING TO EXPAND THIS WORK TO THE EAST METRO AS WELL.

IMMIGRANT RIGHTS: OUR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS CAMPAIGN HAS FOCUSED ON THE INTERSECTION OF IMMIGRATION POLICY AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, WORKING IN COALITION WITH FAITH, COMMUNITY, AND IMMIGRANT-LED ORGANIZATIONS TO PASS STATE AND NATIONAL IMMIGRATION REFORM. WE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR SEVERAL YEARS FOR DRIVERS LICENSES FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AT THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE, AND LAST YEAR WE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE FIRST MATERIAL REFORM TO SENTENCING LAWS IN MORE THAN A DECADE.

CONGREGATIONAL ORGANIZING: OUR COMMUNITY CAPACITY-BUILDING WORK FOCUSES ON LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING AND CONGREGATIONAL ORGANIZING. EACH YEAR, WE TRAIN MORE THAN THREE DOZEN OF OUR MEMBERS IN OUR INTENSIVE TZEDEK INSTITUTE, A COHORT-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM THAT TEACHES COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND ADVOCACY, AND MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED OF OUR MEMBERS RECEIVE POLITICAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING THROUGH OTHER STANDALONE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
