Our Work

Combating Antisemitism + White Nationalism

Those in power are using antisemitism to divide our communities and undermine our ower in solidarity. We are fighting back.

Voter Engagement

While we are a non-partisan organization, and don't endorse candidates, we do believe civic engagement is a core part of our mission to bring justice to our community. A big part of this work is helping people register to vote, and increase their civic engagement.
That's why Jewish Community Action is partnering with MN Voice to engage residents around the upcoming elections.

Housing Justice

JCA is doing housing justice work across the Twin Cities metro, empowering our members and the Jewish Community to help protect tenants, preserve the naturally occuring affordable housing we have, and produce more housing that is affordable for the most marginalized in our community.  We have seen large scale investments - whether they be infrastructure, commercial spaces, or business developments - in proximity to multifamily rental units affordable to low income people & people of color.  These investments or redevelopments lead to the gentrification of our suburban communities.  Gent

Action Havurah

Jewish Community Action is building a quick response program to local injustice in our communities. After having conversations with community members in the wake of the 2016 national election, people were calling for a way to get involved in direct action and build their base of knowledge.

Decriminalizing Communities

Despite its name, we do not believe that our criminal justice system is just. In the past 20 years, all forms of crime have declined, yet we continue to incarcerate more people for longer periods of time. Evidence shows that our prison system is both profit motivated and powered by the racial oppression that underlies many of the systems that remain fundamental to our society. We believe in the need for a justice system that is truly fair and just.

Economic Justice

Since our founding in 1995, Jewish Community Action has engaged our members to use policy change to reform racial inequities in banking and lending and to leverage our community’s resources to amplify the voices of our partners from low wealth communities.

Past Campaigns

For over twenty five years, Jewish Community Action has worked on dozens of time-sensitive issue campaigns, as well as long-term efforts to improve our communities and state.
