Bend the Arc: Jewish Action endorses Zohran
Mamdani for mayor of NYC

Friend —

I wanted you to be the first to know that Bend the Arc: Jewish Action is endorsing the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani, for Mayor of New York City.

This race is about more than just New York: we want to see Zohran’s victory reset what’s possible for how cities across the U.S. resist the Trump regime, protect immigrants, and fight antisemitism.

This endorsement is big, and we’ll be organizing on the ground to back it up. Will you join me in starting the new year by supporting our fight for a new mayor? Donate now to help elect Zohran and fight Trump in 5786.

 

 

 

On Rosh Hashanah, many of us had meals with loved ones and neighbors we sometimes disagree with. But we share core Jewish values of love, justice, and a better world for future generations.

That’s also what elections are about — coming together to talk to our loved ones and neighbors about the future and how we’ll get there together.

And that’s what your gift to Bend the Arc today will help us do: get as many people as possible into the streets to talk to their neighbors about why we need Zohran Mamdani as NYC’s next mayor. It will power phonebanks, textbanks, canvasses, and more in the critical weeks between now and Election Day. 

Zohran Mamdani is offering an antidote to Trump’s fascist regime that we so badly need right now. In a time when leaders in the MAGA movement want to divide us, make us afraid of our neighbors, and use antisemitism as a smokescreen to distract from their own heinous actions, leaders like Zohran are bringing people together across difference to strengthen our communities and our country — like his proposal for a Department of Community Safety!1

I just chipped in because I believe that by supporting candidates like Zohran Mamdani, we can bring about the future we’re fighting for.

Can you join me with a gift today to power phonebanks, textbanks, and canvasses for Zohran Mamdani and to fight Trump’s harm in our cities?

Shana tova — may it be a sweet year for all of us,
