Friends,
With Labor Day behind us, the race to win the House and Senate is kicking
into high gear.
But as President Biden said last week: This is not a normal midterm year.
The stakes go beyond partisanship. The appalling number of
QAnon-supporting, anti-democratic, antisemitic, white nationalist,
race-baiting candidates on the ballot -- and with a very real chance of
entering Congress -- is nauseating not only to Democrats, but to swaths of
Independent and Republican voters as well.
We’ve seen the damage these people can do in Congress. From Pittsburgh to
El Paso to Buffalo, we’ve seen the danger their far-right rhetoric poses.
We cannot afford to let their ranks grow further. We cannot allow an
anti-democratic congressional majority in 2023.
J Street will never offer a dime to anti-democratic candidates. Every day
until November 8, we’ll be focused on defeating the threat these
candidates pose to our community, our country and our democracy. We’ll be
mobilizing our movement, amplifying our message and making the stakes
clear.
Our
community has a long, proud history of fighting to protect our democratic
freedoms. We will do so once again. [ [link removed] ]Join the fight against MAGA

While I truly believe our democracy has never faced a greater threat in a
midterm election, I also believe we’ve never been presented with such a
stark choice -- or such a clear roadmap to victory.
The Dobbs decision has broken through to even the most apathetic voters,
demonstrating the clear threat to freedom and liberty we face. President
Trump’s war on the Justice Department has reminded key voters of
everything they hate about Trump’s chaos, exemplifying the threat his
movement poses to the rule of law. Last week, President Biden laid out the
choice America faces. He invited Democrats, Republicans and Independents
to join the fight for democracy -- and polls show it’s resonating.
“Threats to democracy” is now the number one issue for midterm voters.
The battle lines are drawn. The message is clear. It is now up to all of
us to rally behind this fight, hammer the message home to voters just
tuning in, and make the stakes clear to those who would otherwise sit out
a midterm election.
J Street is all in on this fight. Candidates who mock democracy and
belittle equality for Americans sure as heck won’t care about them for
Israelis and Palestinians. If MAGA lawmakers have an expanded platform to
advance their ultra-hawkish, pro-war, anti-diplomacy rhetoric in
Washington, it risks further catastrophic consequences both at home and
abroad.

We don’t have right-wing megadonors fuelling our work, but we do have
grassroots supporters like you. So thank you, sincerely, for being a part
of this movement.
