Although I often attribute my interest in social justice to my having attended a Quaker college, my first foray into activism was when I was a teenager and I attended a rally on behalf of Soviet Jews, known as refuseniks, who were being prevented from emigrating. I often feel called to take political action when the injustice feels personal.

In recent years, I've focused my activism on racial justice, environmental justice, and justice for migrants, serving as an advisory board member and volunteer with the Jewish Climate Action Network of Georgia (JCAN-GA), a project of Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL). For many years, I joined faith leaders in protesting the introduction of religious freedom bills in the state legislature, which would provide the state with a license to discriminate against LGBTQIA+ Georgians. Every year I march in the Atlanta Pride Parade and raise funds to support SOJOURN: Southern Jewish Resource Network for Gender and Sexual Diversity.
