Volunteers: 2022 Homeless Count
Thursday, February 24
The Grand in Long Beach
The City of Long Beach is seeking 250 volunteers to help conduct the 2022 Homeless Count—also known as the Point-in-Time Count—which is a community-wide street count and survey of unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness in Long Beach. 

The upcoming Long Beach Homeless Count will take place on the morning of Thursday, February 24, 2022, meeting at The Grand, 4101 East Willow Street, Long Beach. Onsite parking is available.
 
Donations to support the Homeless Count may be made through the Mayor’s Fund for Homelessness. Please specify 2022 Homeless Count.
 
The Homeless Count is vital for determining the scope of homelessness, defining existing resources available, and identifying gaps in the Long Beach region.

Repro Shabbat
January 28-29
Repro Shabbat is coming! Get your local community involved. The Repro Shabbat Toolkit is now available and full of different ways your community and/or individuals looking to bring Repro Shabbat into their homes can create a meaningful Shabbat dedicated to Reproductive Freedom. Help us spread the word and encourage local Jewish communities to join us – we want congregations, shuls, Hillels, JCCs, your community havurah, your family – EVERYONE to join us! 
 
The stakes are so high this year around abortion access. We are seeking to create a Jewish movement by carving out a moment to honor reproductive freedom over Shabbat. We start to reclaim the narrative from the religious right when we build from the ground up, right at home in our communities. 

*NEW* Repro Shabbat at home!
For those looking to do something a little less formal and a little more intimate, Repro Shabbat is now available for individuals to bring into their homes.
