One of the core values of our Jewish tradition is the belief that every person deserves dignity and every voice matters. Participating in our democracy is one way we honor that value.

Each election, our LBT community seeks to commit to being a 100% voting congregation to make every one of our voices heard in the future of our country and to participate in get out the vote efforts to encourage others to do so as well.

We hope you'll join us as we put our Jewish values into action and help strengthen our democracy—one action at a time!
