Jewish World Watch

Kol Ami participates actively in Jewish World Watch, a coalition organization of member synagogues throughout Southern California, formed in response to the Darfur genocide.  JWW's goals are to educate and advocate to end genocide, and to provide humanitarian relief assistance.

Current efforts focus on maintaining pressure on the U.S. Administration to fully implement its Sudan policy, including benchmarks, incentives, and consequences against the Sudan government.   JWW’s mission has also expanded to advocate for change in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the world's most deadliest conflict area since World War II (5.4 million dead since 1996.)   

Kol Ami hosted a JWW workshop at our adult shabbaton weekend to learn more about the conflict in the DRC and ways our synagogue can participate in the “conflict-free minerals” campaign.   

Kol Ami has also organized a team for JWW’s annual Walk to End Genocide.  Please join our team for the April 10, 2011 Walk.
