Friend,
It’s finally Election Day. Millions of people across the country
are casting their ballots (if they haven’t already!) and making their
voices heard. It’s the culmination of months of work from voters,
organizers, election protectors, and people like you.
Let’s take a deep breath. Just one moment of pause
in a busy day, week, and year. We made it here, together.
Now exhale. At Bend the Arc, our focus today is making sure
everyone is able to exercise their freedom to vote.
Here’s some key voting information — and one more
opportunity to help others cast their ballot before the polls
close!
- If you experience problems at the voting booth or witness
any attempts at voter silencing or intimidation, call
the Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE.
- An important reminder: This evening, some results will be
announced quickly, but others may take hours, days, or weeks as
mail-in ballots are tallied. This is a normal part of our democratic
process. Use and follow the #CountEveryVote hashtag online to
combat any attempts to silence votes or spread
disinformation.

Before results roll in tonight and over the coming days, we’re
taking a moment to reflect on the work we’ve done together this
election season.
Throughout the 2022 elections, we exercised our
power in our communities and at polling booths. We
joined together with our neighbors to protect our
freedoms and combat the machinery of division. We’re electing
new leaders who represent the promise and future of
multiracial democracy.
It’s our tradition as American Jews: everywhere we see
injustice, we rise up to fight it.
So no matter what happens after voting ends tonight, Bend the
Arc will be here with you, leading a Jewish movement to build the
world to come — a country with safety, freedom, and thriving for all
of us.
Onwards together,
The Bend the Arc team
