Shana tova umetukah from @jalsaboston.bsky.social !

As the calendar changes to 5786 this #RoshHashanah , we must keep working to realize the potential that the future holds and take every opportunity to create a better world and a stronger democracy.

Read @jalsaboston.bsky.social 's reflection on the Jewish responsibility to defend democracy in the latest issue of Shalom Magazine ( shalomma.com ).

"Democracy is, in effect, the governmental realization of Kavod HaBriyot."

On #LaborDay , @jalsaboston.bsky.social was proud to join @gblcboston.bsky.social for the first Labor Day Parade.

The Torah calls for respecting labor & paying due wages. Deuteronomy 24:14-15: "do not take advantage of hired workers" & "pay them their wages each day"

📰 New op-ed by SEIU 509 President Dave Foley, Shanique Rodriguez of the MA Voter Table, & Cindy Rowe of @jalsaboston.bsky.social on how we fight back against Trump's massive federal cuts & tax wealthy multinational corps. It's time to protect working people in MA with a corporate fair share!
But by doing the opposite of Congress, and taxing billionaire global corporations, Massachusetts can preserve access to health care and food for local families.

Opinion/Guest column: Tax big biz to offset 'Big Beautiful Bill'
Ensuring that large corporations pay their fair share would also help level field for local businesses that can’t shift their profits overseas.

The impact of Trump's tax legislation on Massachusetts is clear: lower taxes for the ultrawealthy and multinational corporations, and devastating cuts to programs serving Massachusetts children, families and seniors.

The Congressional budget is a moral failure. Congress must fix this harm.

We will not stand by while millions go hungry or without health care. Today, we come together as a Jewish community to demand a federal budget that invests in women, children & families. Not one that abandons them.
[2/2] You can take action today by contacting your state legislators to urge them to support the #DignityNotDeportations Act at:
