Friend --
Last week, we fell short of our midyear fundraising goal.
Between ongoing settlement expansion, demolitions in the West Bank and AIPAC’s efforts to defeat principled political leaders here at home, our work remains as urgent as ever.
That’s why we’re deeply thankful that a J Street donor has pledged to match up to $5,000 in donations to help us close the gap.
Today, every single dollar you donate to support our advocacy in Washington will be matched by an equal donation to support our Congressional Education Program -- bringing Members of Congress and key staff on honest, no-holds-barred trips to Israel and the West Bank to see the true impact of the conflict and the occupation up close.
Friends -- Please consider a matched contribution to help us close our shortfall >>

I said before that our work remains as urgent as ever, here’s why:
In Israel, authorities are continuing to move ahead with disastrous eviction and demolition plans -- including the largest mass eviction plan in decades which would leave over 1,000 Palestinians homeless. These plans undercut hopes for a peaceful resolution and endanger Israel’s future as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people.
In Washington, thanks in part to our unrelenting advocacy, members of both the House and Senate are speaking out and pushing back. We’re making real, tangible progress against AIPAC and their right-wing allies as they continue to fight even the most modest efforts to protect Palestinian rights, stand up to the settlement movement and safeguard Israeli democracy.
And with President Biden set to visit Israel and the West Bank next week, we are continuing to press the administration to represent the concerns of the overwhelming majority of Americans who want to see real, meaningful leadership to protect the rights and freedoms of both Israelis and Palestinians.
Together, we’re making a real difference. And together, we can close our current shortfall and ensure our movement has the resources it needs to fight for what’s right.
Please consider a matched contribution today and make your donation go twice as far. Make a matched contribution now >>
