MESSAGE
A FAITH IN THE FUTURE.
A BELIEF IN ACTION. Habit and Custom
Taxicabs are for tourists. And for
sure, tourists are important to New Orleans. Rarely do many of us here hail a
cab after lunch to get back to the office,
or call one to take us to the airport, or
depend on said vehicle to take us home
after a late night. Our cars are parked in
a convenient lot, or we rely on a willing
friend, habit and custom, perhaps.
NCJW in New Orleans is 116 years

old, and NCJW nationally is celebrating
120 years. Has it become a custom to
rely on NCJW to look after our community needs, or is our organization
evolving with new generational attitudes? I hope it is a bit of both.
NCJW stands for community and
concerns in domestic violence, education, reproductive rights. It is a place
where volunteers run an effective and
efficient large hierarchical organization
with many responsibilities. Yet, we also
join to make friendships, often for a
lifetime, and to be a part of a historic
past -- first Jewish women’s organization
working to usher in social change, such
as women’s vote, civil rights, equality in
the workplace.
This year, we honored Ina Davis as
recipient of the Harold Salmon Award.
We celebrated 30 years of Parkway
Partners, a group we helped create. We
visited the newly renovated Rosa Keller
Library for our General Meeting as Dr.
Rebecca Marks recanted tales of wellknown Jewish comediennes. We joined
NFL wives at the N.O. Family and Justice
Center in support of teens helping teens
who suffer through domestic violence.
Ruth Kullman was honored for community service at the elegant Hannah
Solomon Luncheon. And we laughed
and danced and enjoyed delicious cuisine at our annual fundraiser, Hawaiian
Paradise. Dr Larry Cohen visited us at
our Closing where he discussed parenting. Throughout the year, we supported
programs in Women’s Rights, pre-school
education, college scholarships, enrichment for Alzheimer’s, and much more.
Our thanks go to all the wonderful
chairpersons who made these events
and programs possible.
Beginnings too are important. We
are adding a storytime for Jewish toddlers to read new and classic tales. And
we are creating a most valuable leadership training program, NCJW Way, to
tell new leadership of our past achievements and future goals.
Take an active part if you can, if you
will.

AFFAIRS
NCJW-GNO Goes to Washington
by Jenny Nathan
From March 17th to 19th, NCJW-GNO members Lisa
Abel, Sue Jernigan, Marisa Kahn, Jenny Nathan, and State
Policy Advocate Ina Davis joined hundreds of advocates
from across the country in Washington, DC for Washington Institute: NCJW’s triennial public policy conference.
The three-day conference combined inspirational speakers
and educational panels with hands-on advocacy, culminating
in a full day of lobbying visits on Capital Hill.
For each Washington Institute, NCJW staff chooses three
issue areas on which to focus, learn, and advocate. This
year’s issues included:
u Gun Violence Prevention: In the wake of Sandy
Hook and so many other mass shootings, NCJW is standing up and making gun violence prevention a priority. At the
opening plenary, we heard from advocate Lori Haas, who
told the agonizing story of learning that her daughter had
been injured during the horrific 2007 shooting at Virginia
Tech.
u Comprehensive Immigration Reform: With
11 million undocumented immigrants living and working in
the United States, it’s clear that our current policies are
out-of-date and ineffective. NCJW works for comprehensive, humane, and equitable immigration and naturalization
laws, policies, and practices that facilitate and expedite legal
status for more individuals.
u
Reproductive Justice: NCJW was an early supporter of abortion rights and access to the full range of
family planning options, and continues to advocate for reproductive health and rights at the local, state, national, and
international levels. On the opening night of Washington
Institute, NCJW presented “New Voices for Reproductive
Choice,” honoring young advocates Sandra Fluke, Kierra
Johnson, and Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas.
Melissa Harris-Perry and James Perry share the joy with
NCJW-GNO delegates after receiving the coveted “Women Who Dared Award” at the 2013 Washington Institute,
NCJW’s premier public policy event.
NCJW-GNO Section delegates (from left)
Ina Davis, Sue Jernigan, Jenny Nathan,
Marisa Kahn and Lisa Abel.
After learning about these issues from a variety of sources, and hearing from inspiring speakers like Tulane University’s own Melissa Harris-Perry, we woke up early on Tuesday morning and headed to Capitol Hill. Throughout the
busy day, we met with staffers from the offices of Senators
Landrieu and Vitter, and Representatives Scalise and Richmond. At each meeting, we presented our three issues and
advocated for the legislators’ support. As you can imagine,
some were more supportive than others, but we made our
voices heard as is our right and responsibility as constituents.
The Institute closed on Tuesday evening with a tribute to
Sammie Moshenberg, celebrating her 30th year of leadership in NCJW’s Washington Office. Sammie is a smart, passionate, and dedicated advocate for the many issues that
NCJW supports, and it was truly fitting to honor her as we
closed out another successful event.
You can take action on these issues as well! At Washington Institute, NCJW rolled out its new online platform for
“virtual organizing” and discussion: my.ncjw.org. Make sure
you log on and create an account so that you can stay upto-date on these issues and so many more, and take action
in our local community!

Karen Sher’s daughter).

NCJW-GNO advocates are fired up!
by Ina Davis
With your support, our issues
can win in Louisiana
NCJW advocates have been working feverishly over the
last few months to affect progressive change in both Washington, DC and Baton Rouge.
We took to the Hill at Washington Institute to deliver
concerns about immigration, gun control and reproductive
rights (see page 3). Statewide, we continue to be active in
several coalitions: LAW (Legislative Agenda for Women),
the Act 3 Coalition, and Louisiana Courts Matter.
We have also created a membership database to identify
each and every one of your legislators so that we may tap
you when action is required. When you see an action alert
email please read and respond. A cut-and-paste template
or script will make it quick and easy to write or call your
legislator.
NCJW, GNO is a formidable group and our membership
carries clout when we call on our elected officials. According to legislators who briefed us last month in Baton Rouge,
it takes “ten calls to make a difference on an issue.” With
our membership, this should be a cinch. Your constituent
calls matter, your voice and your vote count... but only if
you make the call.
Please know that we are available to explain any of the
issues and will help you in the process if you need guidance.
NCJW is playing a leading role in these advocacy coalitions; help
us win by making the call to your legislators when we call upon
you, the legislative session* continues through June 6th:
u LAW coalition has been established to develop and
support specific legislation to improve and protect the interests of women. This legislative session the coalition has
focused on Pay Equity, Age Appropriate Sex Education, and
Medicaid Expansion.
• Pay Equity legislation has passed in the La. House and we
presently await a State Senate vote. Our position is simple:
women deserve equal pay for equal work.
• We have won approval for a Department of Education
survey to be conducted of students regarding risk behaviors. With abstinance-only sex education in La., and among
the highest rates of STDs, HIV and teen pregnancies in the
country, this is an important move forward.
• Medicaid Expansion continues to be a most important issue around the U.S. Louisiana’s acceptance could positively
affect 400,000 of Louisiana’s low-income adults, and approval will also create 15,000 jobs for Louisianans. According to
The La. Budget Project, “The reason Medicaid expansion
is such a great deal for the state budget is that the federal
Page 4 | NCJW
government will pay 100 percent of the cost for the first
three years. The state will slowly chip in starting in 2017,
but will never have to pay more than 10 percent of the
expansion cost. Compare that to today, when Louisiana is
responsible for about 40 percent of the cost of providing
care to the uninsured.”
u ACT 3 coalition The Early Childhood Coalition
has continued its work during the Legislative Session by
providing critical advocacy to sustain the School Readiness Tax Credits that have been threatened by a number
of different bills in the Legislature. So far, these efforts
have been very successful, and the credits have not been
cut. These tax credits benefit families, early childhood
teachers and providers and businesses by encouraging
and supporting high quality early childhood education in
our state. Additionally the credits are extremely important to Louisiana as they have been used by the state to
draw down over $20 million in federal dollars under the
Child Care Development Fund Block Grant.
u La. Courts Matter coalition has been pressing
for appointment of judges to the U.S. Court of Appeals,
5th Circuit. Since July 2011, Louisiana’s Middle District
has had a vacant seat. Every day a vacancy goes unfilled,
peoples lives are affected. We must urge Senators to
move expeditiously to fill the federal judicial vacancies.
Every day justice is delayed, justice is denied.
Will you help us to achieve progressive change? Michelle, Joel, and I are always available to answer questions and loop you in on the cause. Contact Ina Davis:
[email protected], 919-2559 or Michelle Erenberg:
[email protected], 451-8489 or Joel Myers:
[email protected], 282-2233 to get involved.
We need you!
We have also created a membership database to identify each and every one of your legislators so that we may
tap you when action is required. When you see an action alert email please read and respond. A cut-and-paste
template or script will make it quick and easy to write or
call your legislator.
It takes ten calls to make a difference on an issue.... Your
constituent calls matter, your voice and your vote count... but

Hawaiian Paradise Raises Funds
for NCJW-GNO
NCJW-GNO members and supporters enjoyed a tropical evening
on April 6 at Sun Ray Grill. The annual fundraising event had great
food, music, hula dancing, silent auction, and lots of fun. NCJW
celebrates 116 years young this spring in New Orleans, and has
been continually providing support by volunteering, leadership,
creating, and underwriting for many important community programs.
Many thanks to the Sun Ray Grill, our entertainers, silent auction

Volunteer with the Fox 8 Defenders
Susan Tramontana, Director
FOX 8 DEFENDERS and the NCJW, WVUE - FOX 8 TV
In July the FOX 8 DEFENDERS will be completing its 3rd
year of affiliation with WVUE. (The first 16 years of this
program’s existence were spent with another station in
New Orleans.)
It is thanks to Lee Zurik that we are reaching this milestone with WVUE-FOX 8 TV and we are very gratified by
our accomplishments. For those who are unaware of our
program, we are the Consumer Advocates at FOX 8, serving the under-served in the Community and trying to further educate the public on consumer issues. For example,
in recent days we have had several successes worth mentioning.
A consumer was unable to get a local eyeglass dispensary
to honor his one year warranty. We were able to contact
the company’s national headquarters and assist our consumer in getting the resolution (a complete new pair of
eyeglasses) which, on his own, he had been unable to obtain.
Secondly, a photo portrait studio in a couple of big box
stores suddenly, and without notice, went out of business,
leaving consumers not only without cherished picture
memories, but also without their funds (one client had paid
over $140 in advance for her photos).
Our consumer eventually received a package that contained the majority of her order and the big box store has
been most cooperative.
Thirdly, the City of New Orleans heard our pleas on behalf of a resident who has been living next to a blighted
property for years and called in desperation as the house
was now leaning towards his home and in imminent danger
of collapse.
Thankfully, the City responded immediately and now our
consumer lives next to an empty lot which has been
completely cleared.
We don’t have a magic wand; we don’t have a “get out of
jail free” card, but we do have seasoned, committed professional volunteers who work for the betterment of our
community. As the director of this program at WVUE-FOX
8 TV, I personally thank the NCJW for continuing to sponsor and support this vital service. It certainly lives up to
the Mission of the NCJW and especially the Greater New
Orleans Section.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact: Babs Isaacson 861-0716 or Lois Shepard, 861-4692.

Joy of Reading always on NCJW’s radar
by Ina Davis
New Orleans Public Library counts on volunteers for many of its branch and outreach
programs. NCJW women stepped up to the
call for volunteers on April 5th to read at
various childhood learning centers for Head
Start’s Annual Day of Literacy.
Many thanks to volunteers Ina Davis, Babs
Isaacson, Helen Polmer, Lisa Silverman and
Ann Thompson, who provided their time to
read to the children. All the children loved
the story times, as did the volunteers.
If you would like to participate in the Krewe
of Dewey, a joint reading program with NCJW
& NOPL, contact Ina Davis, [email protected]
or 919-2559.
“It gave me a real ‘high’ to see 10 to 15 excited little faces
looking up at me in anticipation of hearing a good story.
A wonderful interactive treat for them and for me.”
