Friend, there’s one month until Election Day, Rosh Hashanah is upon us, and we can text voters to strengthen our democracy.

Can you join our next textbanking shift with Wisconsin Working Families Power this Sunday, Oct. 6? <[link removed]>

Dear Friend,

Right now, we have a chance to recommit to each other.

During the High Holidays, our tradition teaches that we must come together in community to do the spiritual work for individual and collective transformation.

Building a thriving multiracial democracy is much the same. We hear the wake-up call, we join together, and we repeat the words of our ancestors:

“Are you registered to vote? Do you need help finding your polling place? Your vote matters.”

Ok, so maybe that’s not literally what we say in synagogue, but the truth is that winning elections is possible when we show up and recommit to each other. In 2020, Bend the Arc supporters made nearly 5 million calls and texts to Jewish and swing state voters — we did that together.

Right now, we’re doing it again: getting out the vote in critical swing states where voter disenfranchisement, despair, and other barriers get in the way of making sure every voice is heard. We need you with us, Friend. Can you join our upcoming textbank to encourage voters this Sunday, Oct. 6? <[link removed]>

Like the spiritual journey of the High Holidays — and the political journey of building a democracy that protects our freedoms, families, and futures — it’s always better together.

Chag Sameach (happy new year),

Jamie Beran
CEO, Bend the Arc

PS: Here are some recent testimonials from volunteers:

It was a very smooth and well planned experience. I enjoyed how easy it was to help people with voter registration.

One of the best-run, most pleasant, respectful texting trainings I have been to. Such a pleasure!

Whenever I participate in a Bend the Arc event, I always feel pleased that I am doing something to help maintain our democracy and not just sitting in silence.
— Sharon

Help power our movement forward

We're rising up alongside all who are impacted by antisemitism, anti-Black racism, and white supremacy to fight for the joyful future we deserve — a future where Black liberation is realized and where all of us are safe and thriving, no matter what we look like or where we come from.
