Currently, CDT members are active in the following groups:

• Defending Democracy (webpage restricted to CDT members) works to fight back against some of the illegal and unconstitutional actions that are being promoted in the current administration. Our 11 person Steering Committee works on sharing both short and long term political actions that we can engage in together in community. Our list serv is a place for members to share information about actions and resources. Contact
• Disability Justice centers the voices and needs of disabled people in our community, rooted in love, accountability, and Torah. Disability justice is not only an internal commitment to communal care, it is also a vital part of our wider social justice mission. We engage in solidarity, advocacy, and systemic change alongside other movements for justice with particular attention to those whose bodies and minds have been marginalized, pathologized, or excluded.
• Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) is a broad-based coalition of area churches, synagogues, mosques, unions and community organizations that have built a loving and action-oriented community based on shared values and a strong commitment to economic justice.
• Israel Palestine Peace is especially dedicated to furthering our learning about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its ramifications, and to considering actions that might contribute to ending the occupation and achieving a just and lasting peace. IPPeace seeks to foster respectful dialogue across different points of view. 
• Immigrant Justice is working on multiple fronts to provide advocacy, support and engagement on behalf of the diverse immigrant community in Greater Boston.
• Mother’s Day Walk for Peace (MDW4P) is a beloved 29-year-long Boston tradition and celebration of our potential to create more peaceful communities.
• Sindyanna of Galilee is a non-profit organization led by a team of Arab and Jewish women working to create social change from the ground up. Sindyanna creates opportunities for Arab women and assists local growers and producers. CDT members can purchase Sindyanna’s certified organic, fair trade and kosher (for Passover) olive oil and za’atar.
• Trans Justice builds on CDT's commitment to welcoming transgender people and works for justice for transgender people in our community and the larger world includes advocacy for justice and fair treatment for transgender and non-binary people, organizing with other Jewish and interfaith organizations, providing accompaniment to transgender people moving to Massachusetts, and creating resources for the CDT community. 
• Undoing Racism formed to provide a supportive environment for CDT members to explore issues of racism and white privilege, to educate ourselves and our congregation, to listen to each other as we unwrap our own misunderstandings in these areas, and to engage in racial justice actions. 
• Worker Justice learns from workers on the front lines of labor activism about current campaigns and takes action that can make a difference in the lives of those struggling to gain dignity at work. Members stay actively involved with worker centers and other faith-based and community organizations that support worker justice. Contact.
• Past efforts: Beyond Incarceration, Dayenu Climate Circle, Newton Housing Project, One Fair Wage, Voter Mobilization
