QMP Advisory Council

Our project has always been deeply rooted in collaboration with our ever-expanding and interlinking communities of queers Jews committed to liberation.  One of our core commitments is centering Queer, Disabled, Trans, and Non-binary people, Jews of Color, Black Jews and Indigenous Jews, Sephardim and Mizrahim. While the QMP team represents some (but not all!) of these experiences, we want to expand our circle of grounded, consistent community input, collaboration, inspiration and accountability.

That’s where you come in!  If you have the link to this (secret!) page, it is because we have profound respect and appreciation for you, your work and your perspective. We’d love to invite you deeper into collaboration as a member of our Advisory Council.

The Nitty Gritty

We know all of you are deeply engaged and committed people, so we have structured the Advisory Council with the goal of making it as accessible and easeful as possible. To that end, the Advisory Council will meet twice a year and receive monthly email updates from QMP.  We will offer a yearly stipend of $500 to Council members to compensate them for their time and labor with additional stipends if there is work outside of our bi-yearly meetings.  Advisory Council members will commit to two-year (renewable) terms.

Advisory Council responsibilities:

  • Review QMP’s programming and operating practices to ensure our work remains aligned with our mission, vision and goals.

  • Hold QMP accountable to our commitments to centering Queer, Disabled, Trans, and Non-binary people, Jews of Color, Black Jews and Indigenous Jews, Sephardim and Mizrahim

  • and to acting in solidarity with Land Back and other Indigenous movements. 

  • Suggest new directions or areas we could deepen our work to further our mission.

  • Bring desires and needs for ritual and education focuses from their own communities to QMP for partnership.

Timeline

The Advisory Council will meet twice a year starting in September 2024. As far as the timeline, we’re hoping to have the Council solidified by July 31st.

We invite you to reach out with any and all questions! We’re more than happy to schedule a meeting.

Thank you for considering!
