Meet with your
State Representative
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC-CA) has been working hard to set up meetings with legislators to help push two bills that directly affect immigrants and refugees over the line: SB 731 "Time Done" and SB-62, The Garment Worker Protection Act, both authored by Senator Maria Elena Durazo.
If you're part of a Reform congregation and would like the opportunity to meet with your state representative on these important issues, sign up here.
District 46 - Asm. Adrin Nazarian - Monday, 8/30, 2:00 pm
We're partnering with
Miles4Migrants
to re-unite families
who were separated
because of racist, inhumane immigration policy.
