Friends --

This year has been stressful and uncertain for all of us, especially with
the unwelcome arrival of Omicron. It’s been difficult to see friends and
loved ones. Vacations and get-togethers have been cancelled. Many of us
are struggling to easily access tests or booster shots.

Honestly, it’s also a challenging moment for advocacy groups like J
Street. We rely on your contributions each December for almost half of our
annual grassroots funding. We’ll depend on your support to fuel the fight
for our Jewish, democratic values in the pivotal election year ahead.

The bad news: With just six days left, we’re less than halfway to our
December goal.

The good news: We’ve been in this tough spot before, and with help from
our passionate, dedicated supporters, we’ve managed to reach our goal from
here.

I’m deeply thankful that several donors, who prefer to remain anonymous,
have pledged to double every new donation toward closing the gap.
Together, we can do this.

contribution to help us close the shortfall?

If you’re someone who supports a number of good causes, there are likely
to be a lot of appeals hitting your inbox right now (believe me, I
sympathize!). Here’s my pitch for an investment with J Street:

With so much uncertainty ahead, here are two things we can be certain of
in 2022:

* The right-wing settlement movement in Israel will continue to
jeopardize the future of Israelis and Palestinians by pushing for more
demolitions of Palestinian homes, more settlement construction permits
and continued impunity for violent settler attacks -- and if we don’t
push back, they will succeed;
* The MAGA movement here at home will continue to pursue their shameless
and frighteningly attainable goal of undercutting our democratic
processes in order to cheat their way back into power -- and they’ll
use bigoted incitement and dangerous conspiracy theories to do so.

But here are two more things we can be certain of in 2022…

* Our Israeli and Palestinian allies fighting for human rights and
equality will continue their battle on the frontlines, and the US has
both the power and space to do so much more to support them through
principled leadership and diplomacy -- including by adding important
oversight and restrictions on US military aid to Israel;
* We have the power to defeat the pro-Trump forces seeking to undermine
our democracy in the upcoming midterms -- because we successfully
mobilized and rallied the votes we need just one year ago.

With the midterms approaching, we must work with unity, strategy and
purpose to register voters, explain the stakes and defeat the other side’s
attempts to divide, depress and distract us.

As we plan out our strategy for critical fights on these fronts, we know
our impact will depend on the commitment of our movement and the level of
resources we can invest.
