NCJW is a strong supporter of social programs that benefit women, children and families. Our section focuses its advocacy efforts in three areas: Voting and voter rights, Reproductive justice and abortion access, and fair courts.
We believe every citizen should have equal access to voting and that everyone’s vote should be counted. We partner with local groups to actively Get Out the Vote, and educate the community about ballot issues that impact the quality of life for women, children and families.
NCJW and the Jewish religion believe in every woman’s right to abortion and reproductive health services. Our section supports Jews for Abortion Access, a national effort that promotes access to abortion and reproductive health care. Section members have participated in local and national rallies fighting for abortion access.
Seasonal programs put on by NCJW-MKE give members and guests a chance to learn and put our values into action. We continue our advocacy programs addressing changes in our sountry’s courts and how we can work for a fair justice systems.
