Webinar: Beyond the Ballot

In the wake of Canada’s federal election and amidst a year of unprecedented global political activity, what does meaningful progressive Jewish civic engagement look like beyond election day?

Join JSpaceCanada and our featured guest, former Member of Parliament and Minister for Mental Health and Additions, Ya'ara Saks, for a timely and thought-provoking webinar exploring the results of the recent election, what our recent polling revealed about voting trends within the Jewish community, and what the data tells us about political influence and perception in a polarized world.

This conversation is not just about what happened at the polls. It’s about why it matters, how we talk about it, and what we do next.

Please join us on Sunday, June 29, at 1pm ET/10am PT.
