Friend —
Yesterday Trump said "I think Jewish people that vote for a
Democrat — I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great
disloyalty."1
We’ve been getting messages from Jewish people across the country,
enraged that Trump used a centuries-old antisemitic trope
designed to isolate and endanger Jewish people. Trump is
putting Jews in danger to stir up his white nationalist base.
Trump’s antisemitic attack comes immediately after he accused Reps.
Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar of hating "all Jewish people" — a blatant
lie and part of the right-wing playbook of weaponizing antisemitism
against progressive women of color.
It’s shameless and shameful, and it’s absolutely dangerous for
Jews, Muslims, and so many of our communities.
Add
your name to the open letter: We are disloyal to Trump and his white
nationalism.
We know who said there were very fine people on both sides in
Charlottesville: Trump.
We know who mainstreamed antisemitic conspiracy theories that
motivated the shooters in Pittsburgh and Poway: Trump.
We know who would love for Jewish voters to avoid the polls
in November: Trump.
This is the perfect moment to amplify the Jewish resistance to
Trump, who is desperately trying to both peel Jewish support away from
the Democratic Party and use us to destroy black and brown-led
movements for progress.
We won’t let him win.
Sign
the Disloyalty Pledge to reject Trump and his white nationalist
agenda.
Donald Trump became president in 2016 thanks to 80,000 people in
three states.
Every Jewish vote matters.
Being disloyal to Trump is how we remain loyal to our core
value of justice for all.
Thank you for raising your voice on this critical day.
In solidarity,
Ginna Green, Chief Strategy Officer
