Advocacy

Beth Am espouses a commitment to others not just through action but also through advocacy. While we never endorse political parties or candidates, we do tirelessly advocate for issues and policies that affect those in need. If you are interested in learning more about the initiatives below, please contact the listed contact in the logged-in-only accessible section at the bottom of this page.

Gun Violence Prevention
Initiative Against Human Trafficking
Pursue Justice

Gun Violence Prevention: This new Beth Am initiative is addressing the problem of gun violence in our communities and beyond through education and advocacy, in partnership with other organizations. 

Initiative Against Human Trafficking: The Beth Am initiative against human trafficking strives to educate our community about the scourge of human trafficking and ways we might work together to combat it. Please join us to learn about what we can do individually and as a community to combat the injustices of human trafficking. Our group is a partner organization of the San Francisco Collaborative Against Human Trafficking. 

Pursue Justice: The Pursue Justice team is working to strengthen our democracy by protecting the right to vote and ensuring every voice matters. In 2021, we are focusing on non-partisan civic engagement such as fighting proposed state voter suppression laws and activities, supporting state and federal voting rights legislation and helping to reform campaign finance laws. We are also working to deepen our understanding of the democratic process, using a Jewish lens. The Pursue Justice team is eager to partner with other groups and individuals at Beth Am and in the community to further this work. Please join us! If you want to act for democracy or have any questions or ideas, please email Nancy. Thank you for all you do to preserve our democracy!
