For all of you who have been contemplating the state of our country and asking yourselves: What can I do right now that will make a difference? This blog is for you.
Jews & Democracy Go Together Like Apples & Honey
During a recent team meeting we were speaking about our wishes for the upcoming Jewish New Year. A strong and thriving democracy. Communities where everyone feels safe, regardless of their immigration status. A country where we join with others to advocate for a better future, rather than get bogged down by our differences.
This Rosh Hashanah, we have an opportunity to make those things happen. As we get closer to the election, we at Jews for Freedom are especially focused on protecting the right to vote. As Jews, we know that our safety – and that of our neighbors – depend on a healthy democracy, where each of us can speak and cast our ballots freely.
We’d love for you to join us! Follow us on social media. Sign up for our newsletter on our home page (or share it with a friend if you’re already subscribed). Speak about the importance of democracy as you’re gathering with family and friends for the High Holidays.
And sign up to take action at one of these upcoming events:
- Phone Banking to Black Voters with Workers Circle and Bend the Arc: Rosh Hashanah Edition! - Sept 14
- Chutzpah Campaign Kick Off with Dayenu - Sept 15
- Poll Worker Recruitment Phonebank with Bend the Arc - Sept 17
- Florida & Georgia Text Bank w/ RAC & VoteRiders! - Sept 22
Wishing you a beautiful celebration and a sweet year ahead – l’Shanah Tovah!

The safe way forward is in full-throated solidarity, not the acquiescence of our values, and fear. Dismantling antisemitism and Islamophobia go hand in hand with defeating authoritarianism, writes Lisa Tencer, the Executive Director of Detroit Jews for Justice.
