Timely Actions During COEJL's 30th Year!
Join religious leaders and other people of faith in advocating for Cleaner Cars!
Cleaner cars means protecting our environment and addressing the disproportionate impacts climate emissions have on the health of Communities of Color often closest to freeways and heavily trafficked roads. With a clear climate justice argument, we invite the Jewish community to show up alongside our partners in historically Black churches who are out in force to support of better mileage and less pollution by submitting a comment to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration!

Join 200+ nonprofit organizations in supporting the Julius Rosenwald and Rosenwald Schools National Historic Park!
To recognize Julius Rosenwald and the thousands of African Americans who became luminaries within areas of politics, literature, art, and more, the goal of the Rosenwald Park Campaign is to establish a visitor center in Chicago and a small number of Rosenwald Schools as a multi-site National Park. With the National Park Service's (NPS) current special resource study (SRS) taking place through the end of 2023, we invite you to join COEJL in celebrating "the contributions to our collective heritage of an immigrant family, the power of partnership building, and the value of education as an essential equalizing force in society."
