Friend —

Right now, our team at Bend the Arc is preparing to close the books on our current fiscal year and begin our next fiscal year. This is the time when we set our goals for the months ahead, figure out what resources we need to reach those goals, and ask our community — you! — to invest in this work with us.

That’s why I'm writing you today: to share our goals for the coming fiscal year (more on that below ⬇️) and ask for your support. Can you chip in $3, or any other amount, to help us raise $15,000 before our June 30th deadline?

This moment is critical for our movement. We are once again facing an election with existential stakes, as we work to defeat Trump’s authoritarian movement and protect democracy. The far right continues to perpetuate and weaponize antisemitism in a cheap attempt to divide our movement and make this a country that’s only for people like themselves. Now more than ever, it’s clear that a future with safety for all of us will only be won when we rise up together alongside all who are targeted and harmed by white supremacy.

Thank you for your partnership in this work.

Jamie Beran
CEO, Bend the Arc
