Save September 9, 2025 for next year’s Opening Event when we will spend the evening with Heather Booth!
Heather Booth is a lifelong activist, civil rights champion, and feminist icon whose work has shaped some of the most pivotal social justice movements of our time. From her early days organizing for civil rights in the 1960s to her leadership in the women’s movement and progressive politics, Booth has dedicated her life to advancing equality, justice, and democracy. A passionate advocate for reproductive rights, Booth founded the Jane Collective, an underground abortion service that provided safe procedures before Roe v. Wade. Her work in political organizing has influenced presidential campaigns, labor rights, and grassroots movements, making her one of the most respected strategists in progressive activism. With decades of experience training and mentoring organizers, Booth continues to inspire new generations of activists, proving that lasting change is built through collective action, moral courage, and unwavering commitment to justice. NCJW GRS is excited to have Heather Booth in Rochester in September. More information will be shared as we finalize the program.
The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.
