National Council of Jewish Women

Tonight & tomorrow, we're mourning the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, Tisha B'Av. We remember the destruction of the First & Second Temples in Jerusalem, as well as many other tragedies the Jewish community have endured. May this be a time of reflection & hope for a future rebuilt in peace.

We cannot stand idly by. Let’s stand up harmful policy, together. Join us: ncjw.org/aug5

And for the millions of people who will lose access to reproductive health care, cancer screenings, prenatal care, and more. ncjw.org/aug5

We’re taking action for the women and children who will go hungry. ncjw.org/aug5

On Aug 5, we’re showing up for a Jewish Day of Action for the millions of Americans who will lose their health coverage. ncjw.org/aug5

Tell your senators: vote NO on Chad Meredith. Lifetime judges must be fair, impartial & committed to upholding our rights — not stripping them away.⁠

Judge widens block against federal funding ban on Planned Parenthood | CNN Politics A federal judge in Boston has widened her block on the Trump administration’s ability to enforce a provision of President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy law that would defund Planned Parentho...

Good news!

A judge just blocked the effort to “defund” @ppfa.org. Once again, millions of patients will be able to receive essential health care, like cancer screenings, at PP centers. As the case continues, we continue fighting for access to reproductive health care for all.

Religious Challenges to Abortion Bans are Winning in Unlikely Places Almost immediately after Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health overturned the federal right to an abortion, more than a dozen states passed legislation effectively banning abortion. Soon thereafter, Jewish ...

Reproductive freedom = religious freedom. That’s why we welcome last week’s ruling that Jessica Kalb's case, one of 3 Jewish women suing Kentucky over its abortion ban arguing it violates their religious freedom, has standing to move forward!

NOT ONE MORE.

Not one more child hungry.
Not one more person without meds.
Not one more family left behind.

On July 26, we're partnering with organizations across the country to rise up for #FamiliesFirst. Join us and find a peaceful action near you: www.familiesfirstnow.org

Abortion-related travel could face another ‘shock to the system’ under new spending law Trump's law “defunds” Planned Parenthood, which could lead to clinic closures across the country. States where abortion is legal stand to be hit the hardest.

ABORTION IS HEALTH CARE! We will continue to fight for access until everyone, no matter what state they live in, can get the care they deserve. Thank you to @19thnews.org for featuring a photo of our powerful advocates. We’ll keep pushing forward — together.

This Independence Day, we’re reflecting on the women who are too often left out of our nation’s founding story — like Abigail Adams, who challenged gender norms and championed education for women.

Today and always: remember the ladies. Shabbat shalom!

As Jewish advocates, we're called to care for the vulnerable, feed the hungry & pursue justice. The budget bill does the opposite. We will not stand by while millions go hungry or without care.
