Friend,
Across the board, liberal and progressive groups we’re speaking with have seen December donations slide off a cliff. J Street’s online donations the past few days are down 50%.
I’m reaching out because we don’t yet have a 2024 donation under this email.*
We’re currently at 71% of our December grassroots goal. If we have to cut back, extreme and out of touch voices are waiting to speak in our names. Are you able to help close our shortfall with a 2024 donation?
Your support will help take on Trump 2.0, an unrestrained Netanyahu, an emboldened settlement movement, and all those who stand in the way of a just, free and peaceful future for all. Thanks to Yaffa’s donation match, you’ll also help shape a new generation of leaders, taking Members of the House and Senate on what several have described as “life-changing” Israel-Palestine trips.
Friends: Please help with a matched donation today >>

FROM: Yaffa Maritz (via J Street)
Friends,
My name is Yaffa from Mercer Island, Washington. Today, I’m joining a number of other long-time supporters with an offer to match your grassroots donation.
Here’s why: For years, I felt politically homeless when it came to Israel.
As an Israeli-American, I hold a deep connection to Israel. I want it to realize its promise as a light among nations with a people safe and free. I’m still devastated by the horror of October 7.
At the same time, I deeply believe that Palestinians have an equal right to freedom and safety. The suffering they’ve endured – during this war and decades of occupation – must end.
I can’t relate to the Israel that Netanyahu and the far right are trying to shape. Bulldozing democratic protections, seeking a narrower, less pluralistic country, and settling and annexing Palestinian land. It’s a betrayal of the values I was raised to believe in.
I’m horrified by the suffering this government has wrought in Gaza, but also that their top priority hasn’t been to bring the hostages home after 14 months. I share the view of those in the streets calling for an immediate ceasefire and hostage release deal.
I’m offering to match your donation today because it’s here – at J Street – that I've found my political home, a community willing to stand up for shared pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy values.
Emails like these help raise over 40% of J Street's annual grassroots fundraising each December: Can you help us build a stronger, bigger movement with a matched contribution of any amount today?
I’ve watched what’s happening in American politics, where pro-Israel groups take money from pro-Trump billionaires and spend it in Democratic primaries to silence criticism of Israeli policy.
I’m also seeing the climate on college campuses, where our children and grandchildren are caught between a rock and a hard place – unable to feel at home with “Israel-is-always-wrong” activists or the “Israel-is-always-right” propaganda of old-guard institutions.
J Street’s university arm, J Street U, offers them a vital middle ground – promoting sanity, reason and compassion when it’s needed most.
I’m offering to match your donation today because this work is more important than ever. Because J Street fights for my definition of pro-Israel – supporting a safe and secure future for Israelis and Palestinians alike, unafraid to call out those who threaten it.
So please, take us up on our offer to double your contribution today. Together, we are building the political home to give voice to our values and fight for a better future.
Friends: Make a matched contribution today >>

Amid the darkness this Chanukah, this community is the light – and we’re making a difference every day.
