Sounding Off for Change
Jewish women have been on the protest front lines throughout history, championing causes from civil rights and gay tolerance to public health care and anti-violence policies. Given the massive focus over the past year on the Occupy movement to protest Wall Street corruption, we thought we’d devote this issue to spotlighting Jewish women who find unique ways to speak out—flash mobs … photo campaigns … creating a new sorority. We hope the creative ideas for demanding change will get you thinking about how you might make your own voice heard.
Warm Regards,
