Jewish Students in Public Policy

Black Lives Matter. Jewish Students in Public Policy stands in solidarity with the people in Chicago, throughout the country, and around the world fighting for an end to police violence, white supremacy, systemic racism, and racial injustice. We mourn the memories of George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Tony McDade, David McAtee, and many other Black Americans who have been by murdered by racist and unaccountable police. Anti-Blackness pervades all aspects of American society, and as such we know that structural policy changes are needed to bring about peace and justice.

Jewish tradition calls on us to support our Black community members by getting involved in this movement: צדק צדק תרדוף “Justice, Justice, Shall You Pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20). Please join us in supporting Black lives through these resources (thanks Minorities in Public Policy Studies for the graphic):

Welcome back from winter break! Say "l'chaim" ("to life!") with JSPP and join us for our first event of the quarter, Harris Community Shabbat.

All are welcome.

Happy Chanukkah (night 5 - oops, we've been busy) to all those who celebrate in our Harris community!

We look forward to seeing you all back on campus in the new year.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season.

Last Spring, we hosted a community Passover Seder to celebrate the holiday and share our traditions with our Harris friends!

Come say hi at the Engagement Fair at Keller. We've got apples and honey for a sweet new year!
