Dayenu’s JOC Caucus was born out of a need for dedicated space for Jews of Color within the climate movement.
It is a community of Jews of Color who are working to address the immediate and long-term harm inflicted by the climate crisis, supporting our individual resilience, cultivating intentional and sacred community, and developing ourselves as leaders and organizers to build our collective power. The JOC Caucus is open to people of color who are Jewish, including Sephardi and Mizrachi Jews. Please know that we appreciate allyship, and this space is only for people of color.
