“Jews of Color are a growing portion of the Jewish community that has always existed, but we are consistently alienated from Jewish spaces because of these same misguided assumptions about who makes up a Jewish community. NSP has worked to create dedicated space and resources to uplift Jewish voices like mine and has committed itself to learning and acting on antiracism.”

— Emma Rafaelof, NSP board member and JOC Space co-lead


“As a parent in a queer interfaith relationship with a genderqueer partner, I can relax into the confident knowledge that my young children will see our family and our values celebrated and embraced, and that my children have a supportive space as they explore their own gender identity. College activism helped me find my way back to organized Judaism and workers’ rights and other justice struggles have been central to my work and community in DC. Twenty years after graduating, it feels both nurturing and exciting to be part of a Jewish community centered around justice.”

— Jess Champagne, NSP member
