Thank you to everyone who came to our Day of Action yesterday evening! Together, we wrote 50 letters to non-profits and elected officials and made countless phone calls. Our executive board is so proud of everything ZOOZ has accomplished this year, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed by coming to our events and joining us in our social justice mission.

Let's continue moving forward in pursuit of a world that reflects the values of justice, community empowerment, and inclusivity that we hold dear. Tzedek, tzedek tirdof. We can't wait to see you all next year!

With love and support,
ZOOZ
