Just Films Series: Fannie Lou Hamer's America
Tuesday, October 18 - Reception Starts at 5:30PM, Film Starts at 6:00PM
Eddy Theatre, Chatham University
NCJW is again a sponsoring organization for the Just Films series with Chatham University’s Women’s Institute. Just Films is a collaboration of six organizations in Pittsburgh committed to women, girls, gender equity, and social justice: Black Women’s Policy Center, Chatham University Art & Design Department and Women’s Institute, NCJW Moms Work, Women and Girls Foundation, Women’s Law Project, and YWCA Greater Pittsburgh. We believe in the power of film to promote conversations about social, political, and economic change. We also believe in engaging the community broadly and deeply in dialogue as we pursue equality together.

Join Just Films for Fannie Lou Hamer's America, a portrait of Mississippi sharecropper-turned-human-rights-activist, Fannie Lou Hamer, one of the Civil Rights Movement's greatest leaders.

Free and open to the public. Register HERE to receive important information about each screening.

That means if you live around Wexford, Fox Chapel, Ross Township, McCandless, Pine Township, Richland Township, Shaler, Oakmont, New Kensington, Tarentum, and West Deer Township, this event is a chance for you to meet your candidates face-to-face and hear where they stand on women, children, and families.

There’s still time! Thousands of poll worker positions remain open in Allegheny County, and we remain one of the counties with the greatest need in the country. Working the polls ensures that people can vote closest to home with the shortest lines and is a direct way to impact voter turnout. Register to be a poll worker HERE. 

Jewish values affirm that abortion is health care and that a pregnant person should be able to decide whether to continue or terminate a pregnancy.  Abortion bans and restrictions are an affront to the human dignity Judaism cherishes, as well as a violation of our religious freedom, because they impede our ability to practice fully our faith’s teaching.

Yet, in our  country right now, states are trying to severely limit this right, forcing pregnant people to continue pregnancies against their will, or travel to other states, or put their own lives in jeopardy waiting for their health to become endangered before being treated.

Join this Jewish community phone bank effort to protect abortion rights around the country!  We first gather as Jewish community with people throughout the country at 5:45 PM (EST), and then enter the phone banks together at 6:00 PM (EST).
