In the last two weeks, Musk, Trump, and the administration
have begun challenging the laws that hold our fragile democracy
together (and keep it a democracy). They've dialed up attacks on
immigrants, trans youth, the civil service, and their political
opponents. They signed an executive order that uses smokescreen
antisemitism to divide our communities. They're scrubbing government
websites and documents of references to DEI, racial equity, and the
existence of trans people.
As Jews, it’s hard not to think of 1933, the year Hitler rose to
power and the start of the deadly Nazi regime.
The echoes of 1933 are loud and clear. But the speed is
accelerated. Their attacks are a bombardment.
In 1933, it was not too late to stop what happened by the
end of 1945. Today, our history tells us what might come next — but
there is time to intervene.
Call
your members of Congress and demand they use every lever of power to
fight Trump and Musk’s unlawful, dangerous power
grabs.
In solidarity,
The Bend the Arc team
