Bend the Arc: Jewish Action presents...

As we enter this new Jewish year, we’re inviting Jews and allies to join together to dream of a country that’s truly for all of us. 

What’s your hope for America in 5781? 

Read what Bend the Arc leaders across the country have to say. Then share your vision to contribute to an inspiring new ad for Jewish swing voters!

In February of this year, we launched We Rise As One — Bend the Arc’s campaign for Jews and allies to remove Trump and white nationalists from office. 

Things since have gotten even more dire. Every day, Trump and his enablers spread lies and fear that make us less safe. Now he’s trying to bully and cheat his way through an election he knows he’s losing. 

He wants us to despair. We absolutely refuse.

That’s why we asked Bend the Arc volunteers and leaders across the country: what are your hopes and dreams for the future? Read their inspiring answers and then add your own. 

After, we’re going to turn everyone’s answers into a beautiful ad for Jewish swing voters in key states like Florida and Georgia (where our phone and text volunteers have already made over 300,000 contact attempts!). 

This is how we will win: by joining together with people from all walks of life to vote in record numbers and deliver our democracy. In the weeks ahead our task is to motivate the largest turnout of Jewish voters in swing states we’ve ever seen.

We built this site as a gift to our leaders, to this movement, and to all communities under attack.

We hope it helps you feel connected to so many fierce and resilient Jews and allies who are doing the sacred work of building a future where we are all safe and free and thriving.

View “Why We Rise” and submit your answer at www.bendthearc.us/why_we_rise.

Shana Tova, wishing you a good year,

The Bend the Arc team

PS: We hope you’ll submit an answer — What do you hope America looks like a year from now? Who are you fighting for? What wisdom can you offer to our collective?

We’ll be using these answers for a beautiful campaign ad this election season!
