Your support has enabled us to embrace each moment of 2017 as an opportunity to make a difference. Please consider making a year-end gift to help our critical work continue.
In 2017, we engaged with thousands of individuals from schools to community organizations providing Holocaust, human rights, social justice, and Jewish educational experiences. Through social media, blogs, and editorials, our writings have reached individuals far beyond our city and state.
- On April 21st, we will host the First Annual Arts and Advocacy Conference on Immigration at Queens University in partnership with ten community organizations. From keynote addresses to sessions highlighting the arts as a tool for advocacy to an evening multicultural festival with live music and food trucks, we hope to draw hundreds of Charlotteans to this important work.

Our advocacy networks will be addressing issues of racial justice and immigration.
