Friend,
Last week American Jews showed up powerfully with our immigration, faith, and labor partners at one of the biggest May Days in recent history — and for many people, their first May Day!1
I was at the rally in D.C., where 5,000 people joined Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife in calling for his return after being disappeared by the Trump administration. The energy from our collective voices was energizing and inspiring.
But we know our work doesn’t end on May Day. Trump’s deportations are increasing: last week in Florida, over 1,000 people were arrested in a six-day immigration sweep — a model the administration plans to implement throughout the country.2
We have two upcoming opportunities to gather for political education and action-planning to meet this political moment:
