2025 Film Festival
2025-04-03 - 2025-04-05
JONAH is bringing its film festival back for the second year in a row thanks to partnerships with: the UW Social Work Department, Trinity Lutheran, HMAA, Unity Center, and Hope Methodist. Last year, we shared documentary films, many WI-based, that provided a deeper education on the issues we work on. This year our theme is Community and the films, mostly WI-made, are about people in our communities, social practices that harm our sense of community, and other practices that can create community. With multiple locations, days, times, and local experts leading discussions, it will be a fulfilling and exciting time! Everything is free, and we hope you’ll invite a friend!

For those of you who live too far away, the Friday 1pm-4pm short films portion will be hybrid! These opportunities are also how we build community. If you’d like to attend the short films portion virtually, please email communications.jonah@gmail.com

Our local experts for each film will be shared next week once they’re all confirmed. For now, please find the full slate of films and their descriptions at https://jonahjustice.org/film-festival/

Spring Election Volunteer Opportunity
2025-03-27 14:00 - 18:00
Join JONAH members on Thursday, March 27 from 2:00-6:00pm for a “lit drop” to encourage voter participation. A lit (or, literature) drop is when an organization delivers educational materials on voters’ doorsteps.
Recently, we’ve been hearing that folks are finding it hard to be informed voters, so the goal is to give our community easy access to this information while leaving flyers at as many doors as we can. The content we’ll be delivering includes information on what is on the ballot and the roles of those positions, an explanation of the referendum, and a separate bipartisan handout from WISDOM on the two Supreme Court Justice candidates.
Interested in volunteering with us? Please contact Erin Ries at erinries0@gmail.com
