Two years after Pittsburgh was
targeted by white nationalist violence, our Jewish community is coming
together to mourn and take action.
Friend, join
us for a powerful commemoration two years after the shooting at the
Tree of Life synagogue, featuring Jewish leaders from Pittsburgh,
prominent movement leaders, music, and remarks by Senator Bernie
Sanders.
Two years ago, the Pittsburgh Jewish community was targeted by the
deadliest act of antisemitic violence in our country’s history.
This year, we are gathering as one community, from our homes across
the country, to remember those we lost — and to rise up together.
We Rise: National Solidarity

WHO IS ORGANIZING THIS?
In 2018, after the deadliest act of antisemitic violence in our
country’s history, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action Pittsburgh leaders rose
up to confront white nationalism — marching with thousands in the
streets of Pittsburgh and penning an open letter demanding Donald
Trump denounce white nationalism that was signed by over 150,000
people.
In 2020, we are rising up more powerfully than ever before,
alongside partners all over the country to push white nationalism out
of the halls of power.
Together, we will build a country where all of us are safe and
free, no matter what we look like or where we come from — no
exceptions.
Join
us on Tuesday, October 27 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.
Thank you for being part of our community,
The Bend the Arc team
