Racial Justice

The Reform Movement works in partnership with representatives from diverse communities to fight the structural racism that is embedded in our society and to advance justice for all people.

Separation of Church and State

The First Amendment to the Constitution is the cornerstone of American religious freedom, ensuring through the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause that the government does not support religious practices.

Health Care

Millions of Americans live without health insurance, and attacks on the Affordable Care Act and other areas of the health care system have resulted in millions of people without health insurance.

Economic Justice

The Reform Movement has always acted upon fundamental Jewish ideals by advocating for children, the poor, the disenfranchised, the elderly, the sick, those with disabilities, and the "stranger among us."

Justice Circles

Powered by the RAC, Justice Circles are small groups that join together to learn, share ideas, and take action on urgent issues.

What's New

Bearing Witness at "Alligator Alcatraz"

Just over an hour from where we live, a migrant detention center was built in the swamps of the Everglades. People quickly nicknamed it “Alligator Alcatraz.” It is a place where men, women, and children — many fleeing violence or poverty — are confined behind barbed wire, without adequate food, water, medical care, or access to family, friends, or lawyers.

RAC-NY Update

Two climate bills that RAC-NY helped to drive were the "talk of the town" in the final days of New York's legislative session.
