Friends,

This Sunday marks six months since the horrific attacks of October 7. Six months of unbearable anguish and heartbreak for the loved ones of over 100 hostages taken by Hamas and still being held in captivity.

This Sunday, members of the J Street community are joining the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, UnXeptable, and organizations from across the Jewish community to come together to mark this tragic anniversary. Together, we'll continue the urgent call to bring them all home now – and we'd deeply appreciate it if you could join us.

First, at 1:30pm, join UnXeptable's weekly rally outside the American Red Cross headquarters at 17th and E St, NW. It will feature Rabbi Esther Lederman, Peter Beinart, Rotem Oreg, and musician Aaron Shneyer. You can sign up for updates on their Facebook page here.

Then, at 2:30pm, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum is holding a march and rally on the National Mall. Meet at the Washington Monument at 2:30pm to march to the main event at the Lincoln Memorial at 3:30pm.

In solidarity,
Tamar Ariel
Director for Capital, South & Mountain West
