Zohran Mamdani discusses Bend the Arc's endorsement on Democracy
Now

Friend,

Across CBS, NBC, Politico, JTA, and Democracy Now, the story is clear: Bend the Arc’s endorsement of Zohran Mamdani matters.1,2,3

WATCH: Zohran discusses the impact of Bend the Arc’s endorsement on Democracy Now!

Electing Zohran will take an air game and a ground game.

Our media work is part of the air game: a narrative battle we’re waging against Andrew Cuomo’s coalition of Trump supporters and rightwing billionaires who have invested millions of dollars in attack ads.4

We need your help to take on these megadonors and their smear campaign against Zohran — because the outcomes of this race have implications for what’s possible not just in New York City, but the entire country.

Watch and donate now to power our work to reach voters — from their TVs to their doors — before Election Day.

On the ground, Bend the Arc backs up our endorsement with the people power that will drive turnout and decide this election in a month.

Our grassroots leaders and supporters have been out in their communities in New York City, talking to neighbors at their doors, on the street, and where they gather. They are telling a powerful story: that we support Zohran Mamdani for mayor not in spite of our Jewish values, but because of them.

With just four weeks until Election Day, I hope you will join me and Jews around the country with a contribution to help us win the fight to elect Zohran.

As we enter the new year, we’re telling a new story about Jewish safety in solidarity. I hope you join us for Bend the Arc’s important work in 5786 — starting with the fight to elect Zohran, a new mayor for the new year.

Shana Tova,
