The Kol Koleinu Fellowship: https://www.movingtraditions.org/kol-koleinu/
Moving Traditions brings youth in the Jewish community together to open up conversations about pressing issues facing the world such as sexism. Additionally, the organization is committed to teaching youth about Jewish life and education. As Kol Koleinu fellows, we have had the opportunity to be part of Moving Traditions. We have learned so much about what it means to be Jewish, and how we can take that aspect of our identity to engage in social justice.

I Support the Girls is an organization that collects donations of new and gently used bras, as well as individually sealed tampons and maxi pads, which are sent to girls and women who are homeless in the United States and around the world. Menstrual products and bras are considered luxury items, and I Support the Girls works to make sure nobody has to have to choose between their next meal and buying the menstrual products and bras that they need. We believe I Support the Girls is an excellent resource because this organization works to empower people as well as be somewhere to reach out to in order to provide necessary items.
