NCJWSTL spearheads a coalition that aims to keep our courts fair and balanced. We know that the judicial branch of government is critical to the issues we care about and that it is important that we have fair and impartial judges. The coalition is interested in both maintaining the Missouri Court Plan as well as ensuring that federal vacancies are filled with fair minded constatutionalists.

We have a large committee that works in many ways to combat human trafficking, focusing on community education and legislative advocacy. Activities include a speaker’s bureau that goes to other organizations, meeting with elected officials about policy change, as well as educating the Jewish community through our Passover Project.
