On Sunday, July 27th, JCA members led a trip to Postville, Iowa, to march in
support of the workers affected by the ICE raid at Agriprocessors in May.
We asked for comprehensive reform to a broken immigration system, and
we demanded that the nation's largest kosher meat processor treat its
employees ethically.

Over 1,000 people joined us.

 

Read statements from those who were there:

Rabbi Harold Kravitz, Adath Jeshurun Congregation

Vic Rosenthal, JCA's Executive Director

Rabbi Alexander Davis, Beth El Synagogue

Steven Foldes, Beth Jacob member and past JCA Board Chair
