Women of Reform Judaism

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we renew our commitment to reproductive rights by continuing to fight for safe and accessible abortions. As Congress continues to attack reproductive care, we urge state officials to protect and expand abortion. votervoice.net/URJ/campaigns/…

From reproductive health access, to gender-based violence, to pay equity, and more, our fight is not over until we achieve a more just and compassionate world for all. (3/3)

In line with our legacy and values, we will continue to advocate for equality in all areas of life, including through urging that the National Archivist be instructed to certify the ERA. (2/3)

We celebrate President Biden’s historic step in recognizing the Equal Rights Amendment as law and appreciate the new legal possibilities this opens in support of equality under the law. (1/3)

Since 1935, WRJ has fought for every individual to have access to birth control. Birth control access is access to health, freedom, and the ability to plan our own futures. Today, we raise our voices to say #ThxBirthControl. wrj.org/what-we-believ…

"As we once again wake up to news of an antisemitic attack, we know we must continue our commitment to fighting this hatred. WRJ thanks the Dutch government for condemning the attacks and calls for immediate justice for the victims." - WRJ CEO Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch

We celebrate the passage of several state ballot initiatives protecting abortion access. Alongside @WRJ1913, we reached over 155,000 voters in support of reproductive freedom through our #EveryVoiceEveryVote campaign. Read our joint statement rac.org/press-room/ref…

It’s time to #BringThemHomeNow

We pray for the safety of all Israelis amidst Iran’s attack. And we thank @POTUS for yet again standing with Israel in the face of an onslaught from its enemies. May God protect the Israeli people and may the new year know only peace.

As we enter this new year, let us do so with hearts full of hope and hands joined in solidarity. Please join WRJ in making a difference for 5785. Donate today: wrj.org/donate-wrj

Yesterday, the Senate failed yet again to pass the Right to IVF Act. As state legislatures across the country restrict IVF, governors must step up to ensure people have the protections and safety to start a family. Urge your governor to protect IVF here: votervoice.net/URJ/campaigns/….

Budgets are moral documents. Yet instead of funding programs to protect vulnerable communities, the current US proposal is an anti-abortion ploy. We joined @NCJW and 300+ Jewish orgs and clergy urging Congress to remove these barriers to health care: ncjw.org/news/the-feder…

Reminder: There is no such thing as "post-birth abortion."

Protecting survivors of domestic violence has long been a priority for WRJ. We are proud to support the #CrimeVictimsFundStabilizationAct, to ensure victims and survivors have access to the safety and healing they deserve.

Like other industries, the Jewish world is not immune to the wage gap. Learn more about how to close this gender disparity: wrj.org/social-justice…

We grieve for the children killed and all those injured in yesterday’s horrific attack on Majdal Shams an important part of our Israeli family. May their memories be for a blessing and may their loved ones find comfort. timesofisrael.com/liveblog-july-…

As Jewish women, we know firsthand how important access to reproductive health care is. We wish the plaintiffs hazak as they continue their legal battle.

We are dismayed by the dismissal of a suit brought by three Jewish mothers arguing that Kentucky's abortion ban violates their religious freedom. Judaism teaches that reproductive health care is essential. We will continue to fight for access for all. npr.org/2024/06/29/nx-…

A friendly reminder that abortion is health care 🩷
