As you read this, the Trump administration is causing irreparable harm to
immigrants and refugees.



Like me, you’ve read the news. You’ve seen the stories. As Jews and as
Americans, we cannot remain silent as our nation’s values and statutes are
twisted to stoke fear among immigrant communities.



That’s why more than 550 Jewish clergy recently signed a joint letter
demanding that the Trump administration abandon its manipulative interpretation
of law and restore a commitment to the inalienable rights that are the source
of our country’s greatness.



They will take this as far as we let them — so it's up to ALL OF US to push
back loudly and decisively. Please join us today and speak out against the
atrocities that are happening right now.

I know much of what is happening now resurrects a political playbook that
leads to dark places. As the more than 550 Rabbis and Cantors said in the joint
letter, the Holocaust was made possible through a series of legal acts that
lost any grounding in a foundation of human dignity. We do not invoke that
history lightly in this context, nor are we declaring that Holocaust-like
events are the inevitable end of what we are witnessing today.



But we know that the Holocaust did not happen overnight — it took place after
years of manipulation, injustice, and discrimination.And it was not just the
slow erosion of norms and laws that made it possible, but their intentional
manipulation. That’s why Jewish clergy are speaking out this week.Sign on now
to join them in standing for the rights of immigrants.

Thank you for your support, for standing with immigrants and refugees, and for
working to preserve the values and communities that make America great.
