"To all district secretaries of the women's clubs..." Translated Summary: Announces a 64-page brochure by Rabbi Miller [?] with his report from the last JPFO convention. Up to now branches have distributed literature, but women's clubs are now also expected to make a concerted effort to distribute [sell] these brochures.
Notes:
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
