Shana Tova, Friend,
While Trump and the MAGA movement use Charlie Kirk’s murder to
consolidate power, there is one group seeing through their propaganda:
our own Jewish community.
A new survey shows that while most Jews are concerned about
antisemitism on campus, “three-fourths of the sample view the Trump
administration as using antisemitism as an excuse.”1
We are the majority.
This is my hope for the new year: that our Jewish community will
continue to see through false promises of safety that require turning
our backs on our neighbors, our institutions, and our democracy.
Here are three ways you can start
the new year with us in solidarity and with power:
-
Join our campaign to fight fascism: A new monthly
offering for those who are new-ish to Bend the Arc or have never
joined us live before. RSVP
for our next national call on Monday, September
29.
-
Recommit to the work ahead: We’ll keep taking on big
fights to keep our beloved communities safe in 5786. Help
grow our movement’s urgent work with a gift of $10, $18, $36, or any
other amount before Rosh Hashanah.
-
Talk to other Jews about important issues: Learn how
to change hearts and minds while stopping the use of Jewish pain and
fear to attack our freedoms. Sign
up for our next phonebank on Monday, October 6.
These three actions show that by joining together with Jews
and allies across the country, we can resist fascism, build deep
connection and community, and create safety in
solidarity.
A brighter, sweeter, more just future is possible when we come
together and fight for each other in this way.
Wishing you a sweet new year, Shana Tova,
