Join JCA virtually as we re-engage in community safety conversations.

Every year, at the Jewish Community Action Freedom Seder, we bring communities together to collectively celebrate the ancient story of liberation and the connection to modern stories through the story of Pesach.

Join us for another Tzedek Committee Potluck on March 21st!

We'll break the Fast of Esther together and talk Purim, justice, and our organizing.

All Minnesotans are welcome to join OutFront Minnesota, Jewish Community Action, and Gender Justice as we read through the book "Taking Back America for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States" by Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry. Each Tuesday evening via Zoom for six weeks, we will work our way through this thought-provoking work and will be led in a discussion by leaders from each organization.

Join us and the Rise and Repair coalition to rally for indigenous rights and climate justice at the Capitol

Join us on Thursday, March 7 for Unrestrcit MN’s Reproductive Freedom Lobby Day! Activities will take place 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with legislator meetings scheduled throughout the day. We are asking for addresses at registration to match people to their legislative district. Please contact info@unrestrictmn.org if this is a barrier or with any other questions.

Last year, lawmakers passed the biggest set of pro-democracy reforms our state has seen in the last 50 years! But we know there's more we need to do to protect and expand our democracy. Join us as we build on our momentum from these shared democracy wins and continue advocating for an inclusive, multiracial democracy that puts Minnesotans first.

Join the Start With Home Rally for Affordable Housing at our State Capitol!

We are uniting community members and housing organizations to advocate for equitable and stable housing in Minnesota.

In this 5-session series not only we will explore the histories of antisemitism, fascism and conspiracism but also the psychology of how people are pulled into thought patterns (and with time, movements) built around these concepts. We also will take time over several sessions examining how outside groups attempt to interpret Jewish texts to justify persecution of Jewish people and what the Purim story can teach us today about defeating contemporary organized hate movements.

Join us on opening day of the Minnesota legislative session to demand safety for our immigrant communities by passing the North Star Act!

This year's Rally at the Capitol called #Day1forERA will be on the first day of the legislative session on Monday, Feb 12, 2024, with bill authors, key leaders, and supporters.

Join us for a conversation about how Jewish communities can support Indigenous rights and climate justice by getting involved with the Rise and Repair coalition during this Legislative Session!

Join us for a presentation created and presented by SPH students, followed by a screening of 5 short documentaries that define and amplify the historical and current prison industrial complex in the US and address impacts of mass incarceration on public health.

In this follow up to our January 17 Antisemitism 101 event, we will explore the history of white nationalism and look at the rapidly changing world of online cultures.

In memory of former JCA Executive Director, Vic Rosenthal (z”l), we’re providing Minnesota’s next generation with the motivation and resources required to build a more just future.

Join us for our first Antisemitism 101 of the year and our first in-person training at the JCA offices!

While the historical content of the presentation has not changed, our new in-person offerings will offer more space to discuss as neighbors and colleagues than our online formats have offered in the past!

Did you know there is NO legal requirement for local-level prison systems to communicate with ICE?

Instead of protecting our communities, this practice erodes trust, relies on years of racial profiling and blurs the lines between law enforcement and immigration enforcement.

Join us on December 11th, when we’ll gather to sing, laugh, mourn and gift the Wellstone Call to Justice award to the Rosenthal family, in honor of our former Executive Director, Vic Rosenthal (z”l)

Many of us know that instead of creating a pathway to a better life, immigration systems have locked countless people into environments of fear and dehumanization.

That's why, with 30+ organizations dedicated to meaningful change, we're working on multiple campaigns from Post-Conviction Relief to ICE Out.

Part social and part strategy, this potluck will be a time for members of Social Justice and Tzedek Committees from Minnesota synagogues to meet each other, discuss the important work we're doing, and maybe eat some classic Minnesota hot dish!

This time around, we will also be hearing from JCA organizers on what to expect from this upcoming legislative session.

Join Jewish Community Action’s Minneapolis Housing Justice Team on Friday, Oct. 13th for a free shabbat dinner and powerful conversation on housing justice.

Who has the right to shape our future? And what would a world look like that centers our voices on issues as important as housing?

JCA invites you to a special Sukkot event where we will hold our Sukkah as an alternative social space, a collective space that can lift up the voices of those struggling to achieve justice in their home communities. Join us as we create a slice of olam ha-ba— the world to come— by listening to our honored ushpizin (guests): community members, tenant leaders, and clergy.

Join us as we dissect the history and structure of Antisemitism and White Nationalism, and how both fuel racism and threaten democracy.

Did you know there is a long history of Black and Brown leadership in antifascist movements? That ultra-nationalism and fascism are fundamentally interconnected? That you can dismantle these systems once you understand how they operate?
