Today is the last day of our fiscal year — and our last day to raise the funds we need for our 2024 budget.

Dear Friend,

 

Our 2024 fiscal year starts tomorrow (a little confusing, I know!), and like any new year, it’s an opportunity to come out strong.

 

With your support, we can begin our next fiscal year with the resources we need to educate elected leaders, advocate on Capitol Hill, and mobilize grassroots support around the country.

 

Donate $18 before midnight tonight to help build support for critical legislation on Capitol Hill and around the country.

 

 

Here are the top four bills that we’re working to build support for this year and why they’re so important to the liberated future we’re fighting for:

  1. H.R. 40: Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act is a critical step in the national reparations conversation as we work to repair the damage of centuries of enslavement and discrimination and address the systemic disparities that continue to harm Black communities today1
  2. H.R. 2847: Ending Qualified Immunity Act would hold police and other officials accountable for their actions, fixing the loophole that allows them violate our rights with impunity2
  3. H.R. 2374: New Way Forward Act would roll back dangerous immigration laws that have resulted in the surveillance, incarceration, and deportation of immigrants for decades3, 4
  4. H.R. 1423: 911 Community Crisis Responders Act of 2023 would provide grants to local communities to create and sustain new models of public safety, particularly models that reduce reliance on police response to emergencies5

Rush a gift of $18 before our midnight deadline to help us continue this critical work on Capitol Hill in FY 2024.

 

A new future is possible, and we’re grateful to be building it with you.

 

Onwards,

Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block
Washington Director, Bend the Arc
