Pathways to Progress: Organizing Faith Communities in 2025
Join us on December 12 at 7:00 PM ET for SOJOURN's latest installment of our Pathways to Progress speaker series! On Thursday, December 12, we'll be discussing how our faith communities can organize for LGBTQ+ rights in 2025 with a dynamic, cross-Southern panel. We will address what folks in various Southern states can expect when it comes to LGBTQ+-related legislation in 2025, and how to organize our religious communities effectively and in a way that maximizes our impact. We'll be joined by representatives from Georgia Equality, Texas Impact, and NCJW Greater New Orleans. Register here!
Queer Jewish Professionals Call
SOJOURN is pleased to announce that we will be starting a virtual gathering space for gender & sexually diverse (GSD) folks who work at Jewish organizations in the South.
From our extensive work at the intersection of Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities in the South, we know that being queer while employed by a Jewish organization can sometimes be an isolating experience. Whether you’re bearing the burden of educating supervisors and coworkers on your identity, navigating pushback from parents, families, or leadership, trying to build inclusive programming all on your own, or simply looking for a community that “gets it”, SOJOURN offers a space for connection, dialogue, and support.
The Queer Jewish Professionals Call is an intentional space created for employees at Jewish organizations who can benefit from the chance to connect, share freely, speak directly, and receive support from other LGBTQ+ peers across the South. Our goal is for the Queer Jewish Professionals Call to be an affirming, supportive place for learning, sharing information, and strengthening connections.
The first gathering will be on December 17th at 5:30 PM ET/4:30 PM CT! Registration can be found at bit.ly/QueerJewishPros.
Drawing from the Well
We invite you to join SOJOURN's virtual meetup for LGBTQ+ Jews and allies to further community and connection.
During our time together, we will bring resources from Torah Queeries, mussar, and offer space for connection and conversation.
Select Fridays, 12:30 pm-1:30 pm
