Starting the 2nd week of October thru the end of December
Attn: DC & DMV Jews - Join a Community Circle
IfNotNow DC is rolling out a new opportunity for DC and DMV-area Jews called Community Circles. Circles are an opportunity to build meaningful new connections with other like-minded DC-area Jews who oppose violence against Palestinians. We are living in increasingly threatening times, and Jews around the country are using their voices to stand up against Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, and related threats under the rise of authoritarian governance in the U.S. Community Circles offer a more intimate, relational, and reciprocal approach to engaging in this moment. Be it your entry point into organizing, a way to expand your circle of like-minded peers, or a complement to your existing activism, Circles are a space to do peer-to-peer dialogue and learning, process difficult emotions, and explore taking action.
How it works: Circles are designed to be time-bound and self-organized with the support of the local INN chapter. Grouped into small cohorts of 6-8 people, Circles will gather 4-5 times from the second week of October through the end of the year. Circles will mostly meeting in each other's homes, and use facilitation materials curated by IfNotNow. Circles follow a relational organizing model wherein peers will be encouraged to share personal experiences, learn from and with one another, and co-create a supportive, safe space poised for taking action together.
Please fill out this interest form if you'd like to be part of an upcoming Circle, and we'll be in touch with you with next steps. Join a Community Circle
