Guardrails & the Guard: What Jewish Communities Should Know About National Guard Deployments and Democratic Norms
Recent domestic deployments of the National Guard raise serious concerns for our democracy. What do these actions mean, and what should Jewish communities understand about the risks, norms, and precedents at stake? Join A More Perfect Union for a timely webinar on National Guard Deployments and Democratic Norms. The program will include an expert briefing from Chris Purdy, Founder and CEO of The Chamberlain Network, and a panel discussion with Gil Preuss (The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington) and Jacob Feinspan (Jews United for Justice). We'll also hear about practical pathways for civic engagement and dialogue in your community.
Advancing Democracy Through Local Action
Worried about democracy? You have the power to make real change right now in your backyard! Join us for a briefing focused on protecting and strengthening democracy at the local level. We'll explore tangible opportunities to proactively bolster local civic health and act as a bulwark against federal overreach if necessary. Participants will gain practical guidance and tools to take meaningful action right away.
