<[link removed]>Friend,

As organizers, when we end a campaign we do a retrospective — to understand what happened, where we built power, and how to plan for future fights.

Let’s do that now with our fight to stop Trump’s budget bill.

At Bend the Arc, we started organizing on this budget fight in February — 6 months before it passed. Federal money (our tax dollars) is one of the primary pillars that uphold Trump’s cruel policies, including the deportation machine.

No new money = no new cages, ICE staff, or raids. But the math in Congress didn’t look good …

<[link removed]>READ THE RETROSPECTIVE <[link removed]>Continuing to fight Trump’s cruelty, and the fallout of the budget bill, is an issue of Jewish community safety.

History tells us that in moments of extreme social distress, people in power use antisemitism as a deflection. When the 99% are suffering in a failing state, those who profit from the crisis will redirect blame to Jews, Muslims, immigrants, Black and brown people, trans people, the unhoused, and those with disabilities.

So what do we do going forward?

- Read the full retrospective <[link removed]> on building a Jewish movement to fight Trump’s budget bill.
- Share your story <[link removed]> of how this budget bill will impact you and your loved ones, and read the growing collection.
- Join your neighbors in the streets for Good Trouble Lives On <[link removed]>, with over 1,000 actions planned on Thursday, July 17th.
- Organize a Tisha B’Av action in your community <[link removed]> to cry out for justice on this ritual day of mourning.
- Donate to power our upcoming fights <[link removed]> and help us be a political home for Jews and allies resisting Trump.

With gratitude and in solidarity,
