Chicago Jewish News. June 22–28, 2007〕 == About == According to Slingshot, a Resource Guide to Jewish Innovation, “For 45 years, the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs (JCUA) has been perceived by many as the social consciousness of the Chicago-area Jewish community”.〔 According to Sojourners magazine, JCUA is the preeminent model for today’s Jewish social justice organizations.〔Sojourner’s Magazine, “Do What is Just.” February 2010〕 As a Chicago-based organization, JCUA pioneered the American Jewish community’s participation in social justice work. Since 1964, JCUA has been working with neighborhoods targeted by social and economic depression and collaborates actively with immigrant communities 〔Rosner, Shmuel. "Fixing the world, one neighborhood at a time." Haaretz. October 24, 2007〕 to promote human rights and social justice. Working with other community-based organizations, JCUA focuses on issues that affect urban communities, such as “poverty, education, employment, housing, transportation and crime”.〔 JCUA mobilizes the Chicago-area Jewish community in an effort to build partnerships and to advocate on behalf of disenfranchised Chicago residents.〔
