Background
Resolution on Predatory Lending Practices
Year Adopted:
Borrowing money can make it possible to secure a home or a car or to escape poverty. Ideally, everyone would have access to credit and loans, regardless of income, citizenship, or race. However, the reality is that not all borrowers can obtain loans from the prime market with competitive interest rates.
Resolution in Support of Paid Family Leave
Year Adopted:
Submitted by the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism
Background
Resolution in Opposition to the Confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court
Year Adopted:
In 2002, the URJ adopted a resolution on “Judicial, Executive Branch, and Independent Agency Nominations.” The resolution noted that, “Judges at all levels must be committed to defending the Constitution, protecting civil rights and civil liberties, acting within the framework of the precedents set by higher courts, and enforcing constitutional legislation enacted by Congress when cases come before them.” Although Judge Barrett has many professional and intellectual qualifications, her record makes it clear that her elevation to the Supreme Court would significantly jeopardize or adversely affect the most fundamental rights the Reform Movement has long supported.
