I graduated my Master of Social Work at CWRU right around when JRL got started. It had never occurred to me in my two years at CWRU to go to Hillel or Chabad services because I knew my values would not align with theirs. I wouldn't be able to be myself or be open with my thoughts and values. There was not a space for Jewish students like me. If JRL existed when I was a student, I would've been able to participate in my faith and culture on campus. It's outrageous and embarrassing that a student government would stand against the recognition of a Jewish student group in 2025. I stand with JRL and urge CWRU to let students exercise their freedom of religion, including when their religious practice means working towards liberation and tikkun olam.
Harley supported: URGE STUDENT GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE JEWS FOR RADICAL LIBERATIONThe CWRU administration has consistently positioned itself as an authority on Jewish issues while actively suppressing the Jewish voices that they disagree with. It's frightening to see USG position themselves similarly, allowing for Zionist Jewish groups like Chabad and Hillel to operate under USG, but labeling JRL—a group whose political and social justice motives are implied in their name—as "too cultural" for USG. I stand with my Jewish peers who are seeking to create a safe space for the Jewish community and who feel like the existing Jewish organizations on campus have failed to do so. CWRU needs JRL.
Sabrina supported: URGE STUDENT GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE JEWS FOR RADICAL LIBERATIONI graduated my Master of Social Work at CWRU. I stand with JRL. It's embarrassing that student government would disclude Jewish student group.
In the end, CWRU and USG are harming their own reputation when they excluding groups fighting for the liberation of all people.
Amelia supported: URGE STUDENT GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE JEWS FOR RADICAL LIBERATIONI am a non-Jewish Dominican-American, and I passionately support this petition. Jewish contributions have been a vital part of the American story from the very beginning. As a public school teacher in New York City, I can confidently say that the Jewish community has had a positive impact on shaping our public school system. Likewise, as the husband of a nurse, I know Jews founded some of NYC's best hospitals, medical and nursing schools, which today serve everybody, including those wishing Jews harm. These stories deserve to be taught and remembered, especially at a time when antisemitism is spreading in our classrooms and is spearheaded by certain faculty. We celebrate Emma Lazarus’ poem and how it redefined the meaning of the Statue of Liberty; now, let us dedicate an entire month to honoring the full scope of her people’s contributions!
Emanuel supported: Urge NEA to Recognize Jewish American Heritage MonthMaking Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
