[ [link removed] ]Hatikvah Slate and J Street logos

Friends,

If your last couple of months have been anything like mine, then you’ve
felt a mix of outrage, fear, sadness and even helplessness. The universe
seems flipped upside down with Trump and Netanyahu dragging us in the
wrong direction. If you’re like me, you’ve questioned what you can do for
America, with Trump’s minions controlling both chambers of Congress – and
for Israel, as someone who is not an Israeli citizen.

The good news is that we’re not powerless. We do have an opportunity,
right now, to directly influence decisions being made for Israel and on
behalf of Jews around the world. Voting just started yesterday for the
World Zionist Congress election, [ [link removed] ]so please take two minutes and vote
for the HATIKVAH slate.

[ [link removed] ]Vote Hatikvah Slate now

J Street is proud to endorse the Hatikvah slate in the 2025 World Zionist
Congress election. Hatikvah is a broad coalition of liberal and
progressive American Jews striving to fully actualize an Israel living up
to the values stated in its Declaration of Independence. It’s a way to
make sure that the leadership and allocated funds for groups like the
World Zionist Organization, the Jewish Agency for Israel, and the Jewish
National Fund reflect our pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy
priorities. 

[ [link removed] ]If you care about blocking settlement expansion in the West Bank,
preserving Israeli democracy, and ensuring that all of Israel’s citizens
have full social and political equality, then please vote now for HATIKVAH
in the WZC election.

The WZC helps direct $5 billion in funds every five years. Those funds can
either go toward advancing the extreme Trump-Netanyahu-Ben Gvir-Smotrich
agenda by further entrenching the occupation and undermining Israeli
democracy, or it can go toward Jewish-Arab coexistence projects, LGBTQ+
equality, and pro-democracy initiatives.

The choice is yours!

[ [link removed] ]Ultra-orthodox right-wing slates have a drastically different vision
for Israel, and they have plans to turn out 100,000 votes in this
election.

The good news is that we know our movement and those aligned with the
Hatikvah slate greatly outnumber our opponents. We just have to show up
and vote. If we do that, we’ll win.

[ [link removed] ]So please take just a moment to vote now for the Hatikvah slate in the
World Zionist Congress election to create real change.

And when you’re done, forward this email to your family and friends to
encourage them to vote, too!

We only have a brief window to get out the vote and show that the majority
of American Jews support our pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy agenda
and an Israel that lives up to the values enshrined in its Declaration of
Independence.

[ [link removed] ]Now, go vote!

Thank you,

Sam Berkman
National Director of Communal Relations, J Street
