by Shoshana Bittker, Kristen Caldwell, Shira Strongin, and Molly Katz for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship (HSSJ 1177)
This presentation was selected as a Fall 2020 Nashman Center Exemplar.
Our project group for HSSJ 1177 fall 2020 worked with Jews United for Justice throughout the semester and this is our project portfolio presentation.
This project was part of Dr. Gretchen Van der Veer’s HSSJ 1177: Organizing Social Justice and Human Services. Students in this course learn theories of community organizing and social justice while engaging in service-learning with DC-based advocacy and action organizations.

What a great presentation on your communications and organizing work with Jews for Justice! And Congratulations on being able to do work that educated people on the consequences of their vote -- and winning!
The presentation was well organized and attractive and it appeared that you worked really well together and had a good partnership with the organization! Nice!
I live in Montgomery county and remember all of the ads this fall on question B- this was a really great look at how the service pathways of advocacy and organizing are represented and your presentation highlights that service really well. I am curious to know - do any of you have connections to Montgomery County that made you eager to pursue this work- and if not what kept you motivated to serve in a place that you didn't have connections to for people that you did not know? Congratulations on the exemplar award as well!
