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 …

the full story on our blog here: Building the Jewish movement to stop
Trump’s budget bill — a retrospective.

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?
With gratitude and in solidarity,
 Hannah Klein
Immigration Campaign Manager,
Bend the Arc
