The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs combats poverty, racism, and anti-Semitism alongside partners from Chicago's diverse communities. For more than 40 years, JCUA has brought a Jewish voice and Jewish community involvement to coalition building, advocacy, and issues that affect Chicago's most at-risk communities.
As a part of the campaign 'Progress by Pesach', the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs (JCUA) in Chicago interviewed Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez on his opinion of comprehensive immigration reform. He explains the economic and humanitarian benefits of the reform and urges to join the 'Progress by Pesach' campaign, an effort to stop ICE-raids and deportations. Join now: www.jcua.org
