Lobby For Economic Justice With Us!

Come together with NCJW advocates from across California to meet with lawmakers and make change!  

On May 19-20, 2020, we will head up to Sacramento to meet with our state senators and assembly members to share our work and collaborate on legislation impacting economic justice and equity for low-income women in California. Over the course of two days, we will learn about critical issues including poverty, healthcare access, reproductive justice, workplace equity and more.

Stipends are available for affiliated advocates to cover full or partial costs including airfare, hotel stay, and registration.  Click the button below to register. Have questions or need more information? Please email our Advocacy Program Manager, Nabila Sosa.

The Next Scholarship Cycle Is Opening Soon!

NCJW|LA is dedicated to assisting students from all walks of life who deserve the chance to achieve their dreams without sacrificing or delaying their education due to financial burdens. Help us continue our support of economic justice and equity.
