    Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) is a grassroots organization that brings together Jews and other minority groups from around Montgomery County, DC and Baltimore to act on shared Jewish values by pursuing justice and equality through civic engagement at the state and local level. They have been active in seeking higher minimum wages, parental paid leave, as well as fighting discrimination. As part of the program, the discussion will be about the issues being championed by the organization and   attendees will hear from the state legislators about their 2018 legislative priorities. The program is similar one held in Leisure World last year.
