JUFJ's "Thinking Jewishly": Responding To The BP Oil Spill In The Gulf

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Though our work focuses on the DC area, our thoughts are with the people of the Gulf Coast, many of whom are still rebuilding from the Hurricane Katrina disaster. If you're looking for a way to help the communities where livelihoods are threatened by the BP oil spill, we encourage you to donate to our partners at Jewish Funds for Justice and their Gulf Recovery Fund. Jewish Funds for Justice (JFJ) has a long-standing commitment to the Gulf Coast region. After Hurricane Katrina, JFJ made providing support to the affected low-income communities a top organizational priority. "We understand plainly the impact this spill will have on working people along the coast, and we're prepared to support them in their efforts to rebuild," says Jewish Funds for Justice.
