“NYJA encourages Jewish New Yorkers to mobilize and take a stand on issues where we previously stood on the sidelines. Their network is leading the way for the Jewish community on criminal justice reform and education, showing that advocating for social justice is a Jewish value.”
“With a progressive majority in the legislature, it is vital to have organizations that amplify the voices and priorities of New York Jews. NYJA has been an important ally in fighting for criminal justice reform, along with numerous other progressive issues, in Albany.”
“During my many decades of devotion to progressive change in New York and nationally, I’ve learned that Jews vote, donate, and show up, but we don’t always recognize or activate the power of a collective voice. As an advocate for Jewish women — and for all Jews, and all women — I’m proud to be part of NYJA, a collective that effectively amplifies our Jewish voices in the public square and maximizes our impact.”
“Living out our Jewish values takes a voice and an agenda. I am proud to be part of the New York Jewish Agenda.”
“The public good is a core Jewish value. So is public education , and the rights of workers. Our tradition teaches us that everyone is created in the image of God. That’s why we need an organization like NYJA that fights for everyone as if all of us are, indeed, created in God’s image.”
“These challenging times demand we take seriously our responsibility to pursue justice. NYJA raises our collective voice in new and powerful ways.”
