Friend,
Thousands of Jews have signed our
petition rejecting the ADL’s racist, fear-mongering
“Mamdani Monitor” — and we've been featured in mainstream and Jewish
media, including Democracy Now, Times of Israel, the Forward, and
JTA.1
Some people asked us, “Why is the ADL, an organization founded to
keep Jews safe, trying to keep Jews afraid?”
So we made a new explainer video about why the
same group that excused Elon Musk’s Nazi salute is now helping Trump
by creating a “Mamdani Monitor.”
Watch
the video here: The ADL’s fear-mongering response to Zohran’s historic
victory is helping Trump, not Jews.
Antisemitism is a serious threat, no matter where it comes from. We
have to address it.
But under Jonathan Greenblatt’s leadership, the ADL is
aligning with Trump’s authoritarianism, abandoning its mission, and
endangering our communities.
They use and benefit from real Jewish fear to maintain
their status as a legacy Jewish institution and gain favor with
Trump.
Their actions are hindering our ability to unite across faith and
race to defeat the fascism threatening all of us.
Learn
more by watching our new explainer video on the ADL and its racist
“Mamdani Monitor.”
The ADL doesn't have to capitulate to Trump. It doesn’t have to
pretend Jewish safety lives in a vacuum. It can try to live up to its
mission: “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure
justice and fair treatment to all.”
Because Jewish safety only exists alongside safety for all
people. Zohran knows this, and so do the thousands of Jewish
voters and organizations who support him.
Thank you for watching
and sharing the new video, for refusing to be divided
from our neighbors, and for being with us in the fight to build a
future that’s truly for all of us.
Shabbat Shalom,
The Bend the Arc
team
