Bend the arc
A Hanukkah miracle! A generous donor is matching all gifts to Bend the Arc through December 31. Donate to keep the flame of resistance alive and double your impact for 2025.

Friend,

It’s an honor to organize together for justice, year after year. Come with us on a tour of Hanukkah at Bend the Arc through the years!

In 2015, Jews and allies showed their support for the movement for Black lives by dedicating their menorahs to the fight for racial justice.

In 2017, Hanukkah was a protest against Steve Bannon and Rep. Lee Zeldin during Trump’s first administration.

In 2020, we hosted Lights of Resistance, a national online Hanukkah lighting to celebrate our election wins with partners from around the country.

2021 was a poster declaring our fight in solidarity for a country free from racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy.

In 2022 our Hanukkah celebrations included a BIPOC Hanukkah party for Jews of Color and their loved ones.

This year, we made a poster to say Jews will always resist fascism and dream ourselves into the future.

If you haven’t yet, download the 2024 resistance menorah here.

If you already printed the poster, please send us a photo of where you put it up before the holiday ends! Email us at [email protected] or tag us on social media.

We are grateful to be in this movement with you. These memories remind us that our multiracial Jewish community is powerful, and together we are changing the country around us.

Wishing you a bright and meaningful Hanukkah,

The Bend the Arc team
