Today marks 18 months until Election Day 2026. Donate $18 to build a groundswell to defeat Trump and his MAGA allies.

Friend,

Bend the Arc has run some of the largest Jewish electoral programs in U.S. history. Now we have exactly 18 months to do it again for Election Day 2026.

We already know how high the stakes are: Trump is selling merch for an illegal third-term election run in 2028 — another reminder that democracy and rule of law are a joke to him.¹

The best path to crushing a third Trump run is to defeat his allies at the ballot box next year.

The next 18 months will be about expansion, empowerment, and effort. Invest today with a gift of $18 to fight Trump and the MAGA movement.

Or, start a monthly contribution of $5 to power our work for the long haul. Monthly donors provide critical, sustained support that helps us plan for the future and stay nimble in uncertain times.

Here’s how our movement is already fighting back:

• Calling out the Trump regime’s deliberate use of antisemitism as a smokescreen to distract from their own blatant power grabs
• Demanding that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, Badar Khan Suri, and countless others who have been disappeared be brought home
• Pressuring Congress to reject Republican budget proposals, which would fund deportations and detention with our healthcare tax dollars
• Mobilizing Jews and allies in the streets all around the country and providing training for how to participate safely
• Hosting political education and action calls for thousands of activists with Jewish and progressive partners like T’ruah, Indivisible, and Southern Poverty Law Center, and more!

Your gift of $18 — or any other amount — will help scale up our Jewish resistance to Trump and in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Bend the Arc is in the fight. I hope you will join us.

In solidarity,

Cara Kupferman
Assistant Director of Advocacy and Political Affairs
