Avodah

For more than 20 years, we’ve been inspiring Jewish leaders to commit to a life of social change, promoting a vision of Jewish life rooted in justice, and engaging the broader Jewish community in some of the most pressing issues facing our country at a local and national level. Avodah Corps Members serve at nonprofits across the country (in NYC, DC, Chicago, and New Orleans) for a full year, directly impacting their communities for the better, while learning how to create systemic change.
Gen Z is refusing to be gerrymandered out of democracy, and Avodah alumna and board member Samantha Pourciau is making sure lawmakers hear that. Sam has now testified twice before the Louisiana Senate in defense of fair redistricting maps. As a Senior Attorney at Avodah placement, Promise of Justice Initiative, Sam’s message was clear: when Representative Larvadain III asked whether people of younger generations would make Louisiana their home under these conditions, the real question was: Will you settle down and accept this proposed injustice as the new status quo? Sam’s answer was emphatic: “No, people will leave. Or not even come.”
