Tell Israel to Protect Asylum Seekers

End Mass Incarceration
As a nation, we face a deficit of rachamim, mercy. The Torah refers to those who have committed crimes as achicha (your brother), and as Jews, we believe that teshuvah, repentance, is always possible. Yet today’s criminal justice system—which disproportionately affects people of color–is based solely on punishment, rather than teshuvah, redemption and restorative justice. Mass incarceration produces long sentences for non-violent crime, destroys families, and decimates communities. Resources that could be spent on education, jobs, and rebuilding lives are spent on locking people up.
