Moving for Change Since 1989
Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the shortest day of the year. Many cultures have a tradition of kindling fires and dancing to bring back the sun – and sure enough, tomorrow the days will start growing longer again.
Dec. 21 is also the day when JDPP went from an idea to an organization. Back in 1989, our founder, Judy Dworin, filed the paperwork to create a non-profit that, 35 years later, has brought light, hope, and healing to thousands of lives through dance, visual art, writing, spoken word, and song.
Our 35th anniversary celebration ends today, but you can make 2025 our most impactful year ever. If you haven’t already, please make a tax-deductible gift to keep the light shining and the dance going strong.
Thanks for your generous giving! give.jdpp.org/Support
Today is Human Rights Day. A day that is observed annually around the world on 10 December. It commemorates the anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This landmark document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being—regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Let us live like Human Rights Day is EVERY #HumanRightsDaytsDay
