At the end of Shabbat Services, T’ruah organizer Michaela Caplan will briefly discuss T’ruah’s local organizing efforts and introduce the Kiddush talk. The Kiddush Talk will feature leaders from Families for Justice as Healing (FJAH), a Massachusetts-based organization and T’ruah’s primary local partner in their work to stop the construction of a new $50 million women’s prison and to instead invest in communities most affected by incarceration. FJAH’s newest staff member, Ms. Angie Jefferson, who was incarcerated at MCI Framingham for over 30 years, and FJAH’s Executive Director, Mallory Hanora, will talk about the current state of women’s incarceration and their organizing efforts to transform the Commonwealth into a leading example for the rest of the country.
