Friends,

I wanted to be sure you saw the invitation below to today’s discussion
with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nick Kristof.

Nick has dedicated his career to ensuring injustice is never swept under
the rug. Together, we’ll apply his critical insights on global crises to
the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and paint a vision for a better
future. [ [link removed] ]Register here to tune in today at 2:30pm Eastern / 11:30am

After nearly four decades at The New York Times, Kristof has witnessed and
reported on some of the darkest moments of our lifetime. But as evidenced
in his just-released memoir, Chasing Hope, Kristof hasn’t given up on
using his voice for change.

Nick is a voice of reason, and we are all better off with his courage and
conviction.

If you’re unable to join us live, we’ll be posting the recording on
[ [link removed] ]YouTube and as a [ [link removed] ]podcast episode. See below for more details, and
see you soon.

– Jeremy Ben-Ami, J Street President

P.S. This call comes just days after Nick's [ [link removed] ]recent critique of the
Biden Administration's Gaza policy in The New York Times. We’ll be sure to
discuss his latest piece and the role of the US in carving a path toward a
better future.

Dear Friends,

Something I deeply respect about Nick Kristof is that, even after years of
traveling the world and heading into battle zones as a foreign
correspondent, he still knows the value of talking to the real people he’s
reporting on.

Before sitting down to write about Israel and Palestine, you can bet he’s
spoken to dozens of actual Israelis and Palestinians – a step sometimes
skipped by too many opinion columnists. “We are normal people, trying to
live,” an engineer in Gaza told him by phone, words of truth from the
ground that made it into The New York Times. “We’re the civilians paying
the price.”

J Street’s work also aims to bring humanity together with political
analysis – never losing sight of the real people impacted by global
decisions – and it’s a goal that Nick’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism
consistently delivers.

Next Tuesday, I’m honored to sit down with Nick to discuss his thoughts on
the Israel-Hamas war and the Biden Administration, as well as his
extraordinary experiences as a reporter, documented in his new gripping
memoir, Chasing Hope: A Reporter’s Life.

[ [link removed] ]Nick Kristof joins Jeremy Ben-Ami on Tuesday, May 28 at 2:30pm Eastern
/ 11:30am Pacific

His years as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief and columnist
have not come without lessons learned and significant challenges.
Together, we’ll discuss how he applies the takeaways documented in his
autobiography to the current war roiling Israel and Gaza as well as the
glimmers of hope and the important voices Nick is always searching for on
the ground.

Despite coming face-to-face with countless humanitarian crises, massacres
and wars, Nick continues to hold out hope for what the world could look
like, and the voices and leaders who will help get us there.

In his just-released book, Nick writes, “The truth is that while my
reporting has shown me the human capacity for evil, it has underscored
even more the human potential to intercede, to solve our problems and to
bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice.”

Today, Nick’s worldview is much needed, and I’m really looking forward to
sharing this conversation with him next week. I hope you can join us.
