So why does CAJM call this big gathering a “Nehemiah Action”?
The book of Nehemiah starts with heartbreak. Nehemiah learns that his city Jerusalem is in ruins. He gathers his courage and stands before King Artaxerxes, not as a helpless exile, but as an advocate.“ If it pleases the king,” he says, “and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my ancestors’ graves, so that I may rebuild it.” (Nehemiah 2:5) And the king listens. He gives Nehemiah the authority and resources to lead the rebuilding. But when Nehemiah arrives, it’s not enough to have royal approval. He needs the people to rise up and take action. Because Nehemiah understood that justice requires organizing! And what happens next? The people don’t just nod and agree. They commit. “Then they said, ‘Let us start building!’ So they committed themselves to the common good.” (Nehemiah 2:18)
This is why CAJM calls its work a Nehemiah Action. It’s about gathering as a people of faith, standing before our leaders, and saying: “You see the trouble we are in.” But more than that: “Let us start building.” Because justice requires action. And justice requires all.

Board Meeting
2026-05-05 18:00 - 19:30 | Temple Israel, 2215 Mahan Dr, Tallahassee, FL, 32308, United States
Purpose: Reflect on Action and plan next steps.
What we experienced at the Nehemiah InterAction was powerful, but we must be clear, moments do not sustain movements, leadership does. That is why May 5 matters. This is where we gather as leaders, take everything we felt, everything we saw, everything we heard, and make decisions about how we move forward.
This is where we align around our vision for this year: capacity, accountability, judicious engagement, and momentum. This is where we ask ourselves if we are truly building the capacity needed for this moment, if we are holding ourselves accountable to the commitments we have made, if we are being disciplined and strategic about the fights we choose, and if we are intentionally protecting and building on the momentum we have worked so hard to create.
The InterAction showed us what is possible. The Board Meeting is where we decide how far we are willing to go. What we do next will determine everything. We need leaders in the room who are ready to think clearly, speak boldly, and commit fully. This is a moment for ownership.
