Thanks for your interest in participating in Keshet's Community of Action!
BACKGROUND:
As Jews, we are called to fight for justice and equality. Core Jewish values such as pikuach nefesh (the sanctity of protecting life) and tzedek tzedek tirdof (pursuit of justice) teach us that this time demands our action.
This year is an election year – it is at this critical moment that Keshet extends an invitation to become a part of our Community of Action and work together to Get Out the Vote.
The Community of Action is for Jewish organizations who have previously engaged with Keshet and are interested in taking the next step. Together we will explore the tools to mobilize and respond to our current political moment, and motivate our community members to be increasingly engaged in civic duty.
As a part of the Community of Action, organizations will strengthen non-partisan advocacy skills, in partnership with other Jewish organizations and professionals. We will work to mobilize their communities to take action and increase civic engagement around the 2024 general election. We will sharpen these skills through quarterly meetings with Keshet’s Community Mobilization and Education & Training teams starting in June 2024. You can learn more about the cohort on Keshet's website.
TO APPLY:
Organizations that are interested in participating in the cohort should develop a core team of 2-4 individuals who can dedicate the time and capacity to advocate and mobilize their communities. We welcome individuals who are staff at your organization along with board members and lay leaders to be a part of your organization’s core team. Once those teams are developed organizations should then fill out this cohort application form. The application for the cohort is rolling and will be closed when the cohort is at capacity.
QUESTIONS:
If you have questions or need more information, please contact Lanie Cohen, Keshet Community Mobilization Manager, or Hannah "Hensch" Henschel, Keshet’s Associate Director of Cohort Learning.
