As we look forward to Mother’s Day on May 12, let us take a moment to honor and celebrate the wonderful women in our lives — our mothers, women that have been our mentors and role models, and all the special women who take care of children and families.
Celebrate these special leaders in your life with an NCJW e-card! Choose from one of four colorful designs, pick your delivery date, and send a personal message to a woman who has made a difference in your life. In turn, your gift through
an NCJW e-card can make a difference for the advancement of women, children, and families.

"Undocumented immigrants are vulnerable to exploitation and crime and lack access to basic health and economic supports, despite their contributions as workers and taxpayers. Immigrant women are especially vulnerable. Often employed as household help or domestic caregivers, they lack access to legal protection from exploitation by their employers and often lack the benefits of employer-based visa programs. Additionally, immigrant women are often victims of domestic violence and sexual assault at the hands of partners and employers. They often remain in abusive situations and fail to seek assistance for fear of losing visas or being reported to authorities."

NCJW has recently taken the lead on speaking out against the injustice caused by current religious marriage laws that marginalize thousands of couples, calling upon the Israeli government to create a mechanism for civil marriage in Israel and to sanction marriage under alternative religious avenues.
We hope you will join us for an evening program that will raise awareness about the need to have civil marriage and divorce in Israel for those who cannot or do not wish to be married in a religious ceremony.
Peace Corps volunteers provide invaluable service to our country, fostering peace and supporting development world-wide. You’d think our government would do all it could to ensure their protection and fair treatment.
But since 1979, Peace Corps volunteers have been denied access to the abortion coverage available to other federal workers.
The Peace Corps Equity Act would fix this injustice — Speak out today to urge your senators to cosponsor this bill.

Throughout the mission we plan to explore the issues that NCJW women care about and advocate for — both in the United States and Israel. The itinerary will offer meetings with all levels of Israeli women: grassroots activists, politicians, policy-makers and other leading change-makers who contribute to the betterment of women, children, and families in Israel.
