Now, urge your senators to vote for the Women's Health Protection Act. #WHPA

Abortion has never been fully accessible, but we are at the risk of losing our reproductive freedom completely. The countless attacks on the ability to access abortion care across the US has left BIPOC folks, young people, people with low incomes, people in rural communities, people of varying immigration status with fewer and fewer options to receive the care they deserve. We rise up to mobilize and #RallyForAbortionJustice. Join us.

GOOD NEWS! Now let's urge our senators to also pass the WHPA to ensure equal access to reproductive healthcare and protect reproductive autonomy.
#WHPA #womensrights #reproductivehealth #reproductiverights #abortion
“As Jews, we recognize abortion as essential health care, that is not only permitted, but in some cases, required by our tradition. We celebrate the House of Representatives’ passage of WHPA which moves us closer to ensuring that all people have access to the full range of reproductive options, including abortion, in line with their values and faith tradition.”

Today, we are thinking of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on this day last year. The first Jewish woman to serve on the US Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg was a pioneer and relentless advocate for gender equality and civil rights. A beacon of strength, wisdom, and grace, her legacy continues to live on. May her memory be a blessing.
‼️CALL YOUR SENATORS! URGE THEM TO SUPPORT THE #ForThePeopleAct.

When asked why Texas' new abortion restriction doesn’t provide exceptions for r**e and in**st, Abbott's answer misstated what six weeks of pregnancy really means.

Rosh Hashanah Greetings from NCJW Dallas! Wishing all who celelebrate a blessed, sweet New Year.
#roshhashanah #HappyNewYear
On the eve of #RoshHashanah, let's light a candle in RBG's memory.
This weekend marks one year since Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died; she was, of course, a staunch defender of reproductive health, rights, and justice. In Judaism, we mark the anniversary of a death—the yahrtzeit—with the lighting of a candle. Use this supplement, and light this candle on the evening of Sunday, September 5th—or, take the spirit of her work with you as you begin Rosh Hashana on Monday, September 6th.

National Council of Jewish Women condemns the inaction by the Supreme Court allowing the Texas abortion ban to go into effect. NCJW CEO, Sheila Katz said in a statement:
“This is a racial justice issue. This is an economic justice issue. This is a public health issue. We must continue to advocate for access to abortion so that everyone, not just those in positions of privilege, can make their own health care decisions with dignity.
“We need Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to protect access to abortion without the intervention of the Court. We will continue to mobilize to ensure that every single person can make their own decisions about their health.”

During our visit to Literacy Achieves in West Dallas, we caught a little snippet of the little ones playing while their mothers were in the #ESL classes. Little Diego was practicing on spelling his own name too. 📚 So thankful that many of our #NCJWDallas volunteers have become mentors in this oasis of #education and good will!
Lois Finkelman, the recipient of 2019's Hannah G. Solomon Award, urged everyone to fight political apathy and get involved especially in local elections. They affect our everyday life more than we realize. #NCJWDALLAS #getinvolved #localelections #smartvoter
💙💚❤ Joy Mankoff holding her son's hand on the way to receiving the 2019 NCJW Dallas Lifetime Achievment Award was one of the most delicate and emotional moments we've witnessed! Joy's sense of humor and self-deprecation lit up the room, but her guiding inspiration from Rabbi Tarfon's centuries-old writings was aligned perfectly with NCJW Dallas' mission: "You are not obliged to complete the work of perfecting the world, but neither are you free to desist from it; [..]"
And the Hannah G. Solomon Award goes to....LOIS FiNKELMAN! After being introduced by the Hon. Linda Koop, Lois - as elegant and confident as ever - walked up on the stage. 🎈🎈🎈
You've seen Rico's jocular side yesterday, while giving the #Bonton goats a holler. But this is his humbling testimony about overcoming #addiction with the support of his wonderful p Bonton Farms family. Our hearts were so full. Good luck, dear friend! #SpringMeeting #NCJWDallas #SEDallas #healing #hope
Starting our way back to #Dallas reaffirmed why we picked @bontonfarms for our Spring Meeting. Along #Bexar Rd., in #SouthEastDallas, we saw a string of decrepit structures so typical for an impoverished, left-behind and underrepresented community, but also some signs of rebirth - new structures, apartments, and even bus stations. Change, even modest, can happen with dedication, drive and community glue. As Daron Babcock and his "brothers" told us, there is still a long, long way to go for #Bonton to reach a level of basic normality. Aside jobs, they need real food there, they need schools, and health services. Let's open our eyes big to see the poverty trap and discrimination at play. Let's lend a hand, open our hearts, and support sustainable alternatives. #NCJWDALLAS #communityservice #communitybuilding #rebirth #hope
Rico, our Bonton Farms host, was calling his goats and it made our day! #SpringMeeting #NCJWDALLAS
What's that African drum sound?

On Valentine's Day, when Chad Houser of Cafe Momentum shared with the NCJW Greater Dallas why he decided to make a difference in the lives of troubled youth from South Dallas, you could sense raw emotion. Chad's eye-opener was the realization that these eight young men, whom he was training in the craft of ice cream (yum!), had never tasted fresh raspberries until that very moment. Let that sink in. #ChadHouser #CafeMomentum #repairingourworld #SouthDallas #fooddeserts #incarceration #fortheloveoffood #foodforthought #anotherchance #secondchance #criminaljusticereform
