One of many efforts of the Mendocino Coast Jewish Community Justice Group, this site hopes to serve as an ongoing resource for all who wish greater education & information on important issues we are faced with today.

As a Jewish Community, we have a deep commitment to Tikkun Olam, to repair the world through action.

Based on our traditional Jewish values of compassion, justice, respect and caring, we pledge to ensure that the Mendocino community is a place of welcome and safety for all by working with other groups and individuals who share these values.

We commit to the following:

  • Celebrate ethnic, cultural, religious and sexual differences.
  • Defend civil rights, the rights of women, immigrants, racial and religious minorities, and the LGBTQ community.
  • Safeguard programs for the elderly, people with physical and mental disabilities, and youth.
  • Support access to a free and fair public education system and health care for all.
  • Protect the health of our environment.
  • Speak out against hate speech, bigotry and anti-Semitism.
  • Work for election integrity.
  • Promote social and economic justice and criminal justice reform.
  • Participate in the sanctuary movement
  • Take action when support is requested.

“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself,
what am I? And if not now, when?” —Rabbi Hillel
