Some members of Congress are hearing from their constituents and
taking bold, moral action — including motions to subpoena Elon Musk
and Articles of Impeachment against Trump. This moment
demands every lever of power be used to protect our
communities.
In the last two weeks, Musk and Trump have begun to scrub
government websites and documents of references to DEI, racial equity,
and the existence of trans people. They signed an executive order that
uses smokescreen antisemitism to divide our communities.1
The administration is challenging the laws that hold our fragile
democracy together and keep it a democracy. They have dialed up
attacks on immigrant communities, trans youth, the civil service, and
their political opponents.
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.
Thank you for taking action,
