Friend,

Our pressure on Congress is working. Yesterday all Senate Democrats and Independents voted no on a DHS funding bill that would increase ICE’s budget by billions.

This is HUGE! But now Congress is negotiating a new bill and they haven’t agreed to our demands yet.

Congress needs to hear from us NOW to demand not one more dollar for ICE’s cruelty and meaningful restrictions to stop ICE’s ceaseless violence. Use our email tool to urge your members of Congress to protect our communities from ICE violence.

Bend the Arc’s north star right now is organizing Jews to meet this political moment and fight fascism. Scroll down for updates about how our movement is rising up:

Three upcoming trainings to fight fascism: RSVP to grow your resistance toolbox

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day: Why we're shocked the ADL called for “de-escalation on all sides”

Help spread the word: share this new Jews Against ICE image and our response to JD Vance’s shameful Holocaust Remembrance Day post

Minneapolis is showing us that there’s a role for each of us in the moment. Whether you’re calling and emailing your members of Congress, providing food and protection to neighbors, supporting those impacted by ICE in the Twin Cities, learning how to show up safely in the streets, or having hard conversations with loved ones, thank you for being part of our ever-growing movement of Jews and allies to defeat fascism.

In solidarity,

The Bend the Arc team
