TRANSCRIPT
As we reflect on JCUA’s impact in 2016, JCUA is proud of the strength we have demonstrated, working with diverse communities and coalitions to combat the root causes of inequality in Chicago. Last year JCUA continued to mobilize its growing membership to address pressing issues of social injustice in Chicago. Through community organizing campaigns, youth programming, leadership development, and community investment, JCUA and its members made a distinct impact on the root causes of inequality in Chicago.
Last year JCUA had several significant highlights:
• The passage of the IL Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights
• Initial implementation of the Level-I adult trauma center on Chicago’s South Side, along with the creation of a Community Advisory Board which now includes two members of the Trauma Care Coalition
• The launch of JCUA’s involvement in a community-led campaign for police accountability and community safety in Chicago
• The creation of “Do Not Stand Idly By,” JCUA’s post-election rapid response initiative to stand with immigrants and refugees
In addition, JCUA’s community investment fund provided zero-interest predevelopment loans to five affordable housing and community development projects. Through our Or Tzedek teen social justice initiative, 28 high schoolers were trained in social justice organizing through a Jewish lens. And our programs continue to evolve! This past year we laid the groundwork for our new JCUA Organizing Fellowship. Area college students will engage in community organizing, making connections between this work and their Jewish identities.
I am personally inspired by the extraordinary energy and commitment that so many of you bring to this work. JCUA’s presence in Chicago is enduring and vibrant because of you. Your determination to put your Jewish values into action is how we bring about meaningful social change together.
With warm regards and deep gratitude,
WELCOME
Judy LeveyJCUA Executive Director
Rabbi Capers FunnyeJCUA Board President
As I look back on 2016, I am genuinely inspired by the great victories JCUA has helped to bring about. Working with diverse coalitions from across the city, JCUA has made significant strides for social justice in Chicago: for South Side residents seeking emergency care and domestic workers seeking equal labor rights; for affordable housing and community development undertakings seeking to expand access to decent housing and much-needed employment; and for young people who are passionate about repairing the world.
Guided by our longstanding mission to combat poverty, racism and antisemitism, we have embarked on new campaigns standing with immigrants, refugees, those who have been victims of excessive police force, and our own community which has faced increased threats in a post-election wave of fear.
JCUA’s work is driven by our members, members that do this work fearlessly, tirelessly, and confidently. Why do we choose this path to meaningful social change? I believe it is because our members are motivated by the same core Jewish values that drive my work as a Rabbi and JCUA’s work as a champion for social justice. We have said it before, and it bears repeating: at the core of the Jewish people’s story is our slavery and liberation in Egypt, and that this liberation points toward a responsibility to undermine oppression wherever we meet it.
Thank you for doing your part. Together we strengthen one another.
B’vracha,
MISSION
PROGRAMS
The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs (JCUA) is the Jewish voice for social justice in Chicago, combatting poverty, racism and anti-Semitism in partnership with Chicago’s diverse communities.
JCUA and its members are powerful advocates, working in partnership with directly-impacted communities to decrease disparities in our city.
With Membership as the key vehicle for engagement, JCUA brings a mobilized Jewish voice to three program areas: Issue-based Campaigns, Community Investment and Youth Programming. No other Jewish organization in Chicago is using a community organizing model to advance systemic change on domestic issues with a local focus.
Began a new partnership with Oak Park Temple and ran a successful Year of Action Program with their 10th grade confirmation class, including bringing 13 of their teens to L’Taken Advocacy Retreat of the Religious Action Center.
Led workshops for teens on restorative justice, community organizing & campaigns development, root-cause analysis & systemic oppression, Jewish & social justice identity, JCUA trauma center and domestic workers’ campaigns, the civil rights movement, and police accountability.
Co-hosted a collaborative Racial Justice Book & Film Series with MishkanChicago Repair theWorld, and SilversteinBase Hillel.
Facilitated social justice workshops at 6 synagogues, 5 Jewish Student Connection Clubs, and 3 other Jewish youth groups.
Led 2 voter registration sessions with teens, JCUA members, and partner synagogue congregants
Facilitated workshops for two NFTY regional events and over 40 teens
94% of teens completed the Or Tzedek summer program stating they had a solid grounding in systemic oppression and root-cause social justice. 90% of teens completed the Or Tzedek summer program stating that activism is an expression of their Judaism.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING/ISSUE CAMPAIGNS
In November 2016, JCUA launched its “Do Not Stand Idly By” campaign to stand against the unjust legislation and policies of the new administration.
JCUA joined the Unity Coalition of 20 organizations committed to creating unity and respect in our communities. This coalition passed two resolutions through Cook County and Chicago City Council, and then passed changes to the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance to make it more inclusive of undocumented people.
Using our own history as immigrants and refugees as guidance, JCUA has been in partner with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) to advocate for more just immigration legislation in Illinois.
The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights was signed into law in August 2016. JCUA was part of the winning coalition that made Illinois the 7th state to pass protections for this long exploited work force.
The Bill of Rights went into effect on January 1, 2017. Since then, JCUA has been working hard to educate employees and employers on the new law, and ensure that all workers have dignity and respect in the workplace.
JCUA presented at 10 Congregations and Jewish spaces to over 200 people on the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights.
Over 175 people signed a pledge committing to advocating for domestic workers in our state.
250 people attended our initial meeting, two weeks after the election. 50 people became new JCUA members after this inspirational event.
JCUA formed a rapid response team of 100 people who support our community partners in times of need.
JCUA joined more than 300 people in the Unity Coalition
for a march in -2 degree weather!
