Pursuing Justice 2020 Online will be an opportunity for deep connection, learning, healing, and growth. We will have spaces for grieving and healing, strategizing for the work ahead, and collective joy.

Sessions will be a mix of both interactive workshops and plenaries to hear from movement leaders. There will be a variety of session formats and a range of opportunities for connection and learning.

You should! Pursuing Justice 2020 Online is a chance for anyone who roots their activism in progressive Jewish values to be together, learn, heal, share, and grow as a community. No matter if you’re a seasoned organizer or new to movement work, there will be sessions designed for you.

From Covid-19 to the crucial election this fall, many of us are weary and heartbroken from the ongoing challenges our nation and our communities are facing. We must find ways to renew ourselves while continuing on to create a more just and vibrant world.

Pursuing Justice 2020 Online will be an opportunity for the progressive Jewish movement to come together for rejuvenation and rededication. People of all ages, races, genders, ethnicities, abilities, sexual orientations, and spiritual practices are warmly invited to join us there. We want you to be there with us.
