Bleach Kits Work Parties

Led by congregant Kim Kelly, this group meets every other week in order to assemble bleach kits that are then dispensed by the Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center. Bleach kits are used to disinfect injection equipment and are essential to helping stem the transmission of HIV among IV drug users. This is a great way for newcomers to meet some of Judson's grooviest "oldtimers" and be involved in social justice work that has a tangible beginning, middle, and end: we make the kits, the LESHRC dispenses them, and lives are saved. Oh, and did we mention there are snacks? Because there are. Dates for individial work parties are listed below.

The Stranger Within and the Stranger Without

Donna Schaper's live talk/call-in webcast! Every Wednesday at 1:00 p.m., through July 22. Go here to find her. This series is part of Judson’s Words of Welcome project, which is underwritten by a generous grant from the Andrus Family Fund. Donna’s overall topic: “The Stranger Within and the Stranger Without”—we all cross borders, one way or another—listen in to hear more.  Tell your friends and associates about the show—it will also be re-broadcast on the same channel at 1:00 a.m., for night owls and the international audience.  But if you want to call in a question, you have to listen to the live version, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Details, when available, are listed weekly below. "Thanks to Dan Zanes and Friends for letting us use the song "Welcome Table" from Dan's CD of the same name, as the theme music for this web cast."
