Friend—
The Days of Awe are here. Between Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur, Bend the Arc leaders have events planned across the
country to demand their members of Congress stop our government’s
cruelty against immigrant families.
Today alone, Jews in 📍Long Island, NY, 📍Cleveland,
OH, 📍Los Angeles and 📍the Bay Area, CA are organizing to say “We
remember and we demand action.”
Our week of action will be so much more powerful
if EVERY member of Congress hears from the Jewish community loud and
clear — add to the chorus right now.
Email
your member of Congress using this quick form: “It's the Jewish New
Year. Hold ICE and CBP accountable for cruelty against
immigrants.”
We remember the
names of the children who have died in US custody.
We
remember the families kept in cages, without soap, blankets, or
water.
We remember the screams of children whose parents
were rounded up in raids.
This is a critical moment to contact your member of
Congress because the biggest fight on immigration this year will be
over funding, and the Trump administration thinks the public isn’t
paying attention.
The Administration is continuing to ask Congress for billions of
dollars to escalate its cruelty against immigrant families and
communities. But if thousands of us take action alongside our partners
we can to get Congress to stop them.
That’s why today through Sunday, Jewish leaders
across the country are demanding their members of Congress cut funding
to ICE and CBP and hold these agencies accountable — to
directly combat Trump and remove the resources that enable the violent
enforcement of his immigration policies.
Send
an email to your member of Congress right now to demand accountability
for cruelty against immigrant families this year — here’s the
link.
As we reflect during these high holidays, and as we approach the
anniversary of the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, we know
that the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants are rooted in
the same white nationalism that has targeted the Jewish community, the
Muslim community, indigenous folks, people of color, and people with
disabilities.
We know that the only way to win is to show up together, in
solidarity. Will you join us?
Make
Defund Hate part of your Days of Awe by writing your Member of
Congress: take action now.
In solidarity,
The Bend the Arc team
