About the Jewish Alliance
The Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action is a new membership-based
non-profit organization based in Boston. We are dedicated to being a strong,
progressive, inter-generational voice, inspired by Jewish teachings and
values, for social justice, civil rights, and civil liberties.
JUSTICE
We will take part in the pursuit of civil liberties and in
protecting against discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual
orientation, and religion. We will seek economic justice, defend democratic
values, and to reduce the division between rich and poor by promoting tax
equity. We support privacy rights, including reproductive rights and
genetics. We will work to end sweatshops, and to fight any efforts to impose
the death penalty and to otherwise bring fairness to the criminal justice
system.
EDUCATION
We will seek to maintain and improve our public schools with programs that
ensure that all students have access to quality education in a safe and
diversified setting. We oppose programs and actions that harm the public
school system.
CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS
We will work to preserve our constitutional protections, emphasizing
separation of church and state, the free exercise of religion, civil
liberties in a post-9/11 environment, and equal protection of the law.
