Senator Jill P. Carter

Every year, JUFJ honors leaders in our community who follow in the footsteps of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel z”l (1907-1972) and beloved JUFJ leader Elissa Froman z”l (1983-2013) by fusing deep moral commitments with their activism. Here’s a little bit about why we’re honoring Maryland Senator Jill Carter at this year’s Heschel Vision Awards:

Senator Carter cares deeply about the people and communities she represents in Maryland’s District 41. She is committed to improving the lives of people in her District, throughout Baltimore City, and across Maryland, and turns that commitment into real change.

For all these reasons and many more, JUFJ is proud to name Senator Carter as a recipient of the Heschel Vision Award. Register to join the awards ceremony on Sunday, 11/20, starting at 7 PM: https://jufj.org/event/heschel2022/

Senator Carter is aware that some voters are finding that they when they arrive to their precinct they’d been sent the wrong sample ballot. She has spoken to Armstead Jones and they’re asking voters to proceed to vote and use a provisional ballot.

Dear Friends,

Please join me for a very important event on Wednesday, September 29 from 11:00 to 4:00 at Morgan State University’s new Earl Graves School of Business. We are sponsoring a Blood Drive to highlight Sickle Cell Awareness Month. I urge everyone to click this link and make an appointment to donate blood along with me.

As you know, Sickle Cell Disease is a devastating illness that disproportionately strikes Black and Brown communities throughout Maryland. When a patient is in crisis, a blood transfusion is particularly vital. Here is why we need you to donate -
For many patients, hospitals can transfuse blood products solely on compatible A, B, O, and AB blood types. However, most individuals who are Black have some unique protein structures or antigens on their red blood cells that can make it difficult to find a compatible unit of blood in other donor populations.

Because sickle cell disease disproportionately impacts the Black community, and a single patient who has sickle cell can require thousands of blood transfusions throughout their life, receiving blood from a donor with the same race or similar ethnicity often provides the best opportunity for a well-matched unit, resulting in a transfusion that is better for the patient. This is because frequent transfusions can cause patients with sickle cell disease to develop an immune response against blood from a donor that is not closely matched, and this can lead to serious complications.

I will be there, rolling up my sleeve, to make a difference for our community. Hope to see you there!

Annapolis City Council Votes To Pass 'Medicare For All Act Of 2021'

Annapolis City Council Votes To Pass 'Medicare For All Act Of 2021' The City Council of Annapolis announced the passing of The Medicare For All Act of 2021. This is the first resolution in Maryland State Capitol history in support of Federal Bill H.R. 1976.

I said what I said ✊🏽

Countless women and men of color have been convicted and incarcerated due to the criminalization of ma*****na. We must repair the damage perpetuated by the fake “War on Drugs”. It is not enough to decriminalize ma*****na. We must also release people incarcerated for it, clear their records, and ensure their participation in the legalized cannabis industry.

My Shero, Marianne Williamson posted this heart breaking and historic picture in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day. It pictures the famed writer and survivor, Eli Weisel. This photograph weighs heavy on my heart because it looks no different than enslaved Africans loaded on the ships that crossed the Atlantic to shepherd us into enslavement.

We remember, so that we can honor those who sacrificed on our behalf. We remember, in honor of the lives lost and destroyed. Let’s take this powerful moment to also remember that there is more that connects us, than does divide us. I love you all ❤️ - Senator JPC

Is a wealth tax the answer to addressing budget shortfalls caused by COVID-19? - MarylandReporter.com

Top earners must pay their fair share! Our government should not balance its budget on the backs of the poor!

“A wealth tax would be a common-sense measure to help quell the economic disruption created by the pandemic,” Carter said. “Legislative leaders, as well as the governor, should support an increase on the wealthiest 1% and measures to offset special tax breaks for capital gains and millionaire heirs.”

Is a wealth tax the answer to addressing budget shortfalls caused by COVID-19? - MarylandReporter.com The coronavirus pandemic has led to many states - including Maryland having budget shortfalls and many academics and politicians say the solution is to impose a wealth tax on top income earners.
