This event is at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m PT and is open to the entire Young Women’s Leadership Network.
Please join the YWLN for a virtual letter writing gathering. Together we will learn about the importance of and how to make sure your voice is heard on the issues you care about. Together we’ll speak out against systemic racism and demand policy change.
The Young Women’s Leadership Network wants to provide its members with resources to take action and fight against racism in our country. There are many ways we can make our voices heard, one is writing and calling your elected officials to make sure they know where your stance on issues and the policy changes you support.
Change only happens when we demand it!
JWI strongly condemns the acts of violence and murders of Black Americans and calls on people of all races and religions to stand together to confront and change systemic violence and racism. As anti-violence advocates, we cannot remain silent. As Jewish women, guided by our teachings and traditions, we must not sit idly by. As mothers, we will not accept a world in which parents must have a “talk” with their children on how to survive as a person of color. We pledge to lift the voices and work of people of color and to actively seek ways to undo the systems that drive inequality in access to safety, education, opportunity, and justice." - Meredith Jacobs, JWI CEO
