That’s me on the left, taking action with Bend the Arc CEO Jamie Beran for No Kings Day

Hi Friend,

I’m Jess Zimmerman, Bend the Arc’s Interim Director of Development. I’m the person who makes sure we have the resources we need to meet our goals. This Giving Tuesday, Bend the Arc needs to reach 180 gifts to grow our Jewish resistance to Trump AND unlock an additional $10,000 from a generous donor.

Our job right now is to fight fascism — individually and together, when it’s easy to show up and also when it’s hard. Bend the Arc is leading the Jewish fight to defeat Trump’s fascism, and we need your help.

Here’s how your gift before midnight will power the urgent fights ahead:

🪧 $10 helps print Jewish protest signs to take into the streets

📲 $18 powers action alert texts to activate our base

☎️ $36 funds emails and calls to our elected officials

💪 $72 trains 10 volunteers on how to take nonviolent action safely

📣 $118 helps organize a mass education training call

❤️ Every gift grows Bend the Arc as a political home for Jews and allies who are rising up to fight back

In the scariest political moments, our movements can (and must) grow with unprecedented strength and speed.

With your help, we can absorb and empower as many Jews and allies as possible into our pro-democracy movement in 2026.

I hope you’ll contribute before our midnight deadline. Every gift goes directly towards our Jewish fight to defeat fascism AND helps unlock a $10,000 challenge gift from a generous donor.

We can’t do it without you, Friend.

With gratitude,

Jess Zimmerman
Interim Director of Development, Bend the Arc
