We have the power to build a
country where we are all safe and free, and we have a plan to get
there — starting with who’s elected in November.
Dear Friend,
Rosh Hashanah is upon us, and with it, early voting begins in five
states.
We know that this election — just 49 days away — is the most
important of our lifetimes. The outcome will determine what the future
of our democracy looks like. Donald Trump knows that he can
only win with fear, division and chaos, and he’s desperate to keep his
power. These are scary times and the stakes are high. But we have a
plan to win.
Our
PAC has endorsed dozens of candidates in competitive races in order to
replace those that enable white nationalists — because we know
that these future Senators and Representatives can put us on a path to
bring about the multiracial democracy we envision by:
- Taking immediate action to respond to
the ongoing COVID-19 emergency and the economic wreckage it’s left
behind
- Addressing the failures of the
criminal justice and policing systems
- Restoring dignity to the immigrant
experience in America
- Protecting the right to vote for all
Americans
In this election, we’re fighting for health care. We’re fighting
for compassionate and science-driven responses to crises like the
pandemic and resulting economic downturn. We’re fighting for a country
where no one has to fear being killed by the police or white
nationalist vigilantes inspired by the President’s conspiracy
theories. We’re fighting for a country where we are all truly
safe and free.
Our PAC is working to push leaders who cozy up to white
nationalists out of Washington and back into the extreme margins where
they belong. By
supporting a diverse slate of candidates that champion our progressive
values, we are building a future that is truly for all of us.
Together, we can restore dignity and security to the lives of
immigrants, protect and expand voting rights, and fight systemic
racism in this country.
As we welcome in the new year, we are reminded of the power
of new beginnings. With our actions, we can decide the
outcome of the election, and alter the path we’re currently on.
We are determined and we know that we can win. We need you
in this fight. Start
right now by learning about the candidates our PAC
supports.
With wishes for a New Year of sweetness, life and dignity for
all,
Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block, Washington Director
Bend the Arc:
Jewish Action
P.S. By early October, a hundred million Americans will
already be voting. There’s no time to lose. Join
us, and enter Rosh Hashanah with hope for the future.
