NCJW has had a presence in Arizona since 1920. We work to improve the
quality of life for women, children, and families and strive to ensure individual
rights and freedoms for all. Our belief in Tikun Olam is translated every day
into our actions. We are advocates on important public issues, with a
network of State Public Affairs volunteers, a full-time Washington D.C. based
advocacy office; and an observer seat at the United Nations. The Arizona
Section generally meets on the 3rd Tues of each month. Meetings/ Programs
will be held alternately between days and evenings at various locations. Please
watch this site and the Bulletin for time, date, and place.
Much of our work is concerned with education and advocacy on behalf of
domestic violence prevention. Each March, our Domestic Violence Brunch
raises funds for Domestic Violence shelters. Throughout the year, our Teen
Dating Abuse Prevention program, designed to help break the cycle of
violence that leads to domestic abuse in the adult population, is presented to
youth groups, school groups and professional groups.
We have demonstrated our advocacy efforts related to a woman’s right to
choose and other important NCJW issues by holding a Candidates Forum. We
also have held a Train the Trainer event for over 20 other progressive
organizations on the Importance of an Impartial Court. The event resulted in
the beginning of a new coalition that will hopefully impact future court
appointments, in the wake of recent Supreme Court appointments.
