Bend the Arc: Jewish Action

Hi everyone! We're Bend the Arc — a multiracial, multiethnic, intergenerational movement of Jews and allies, rising up to build an American future free from white supremacy, antisemitism, and racism. Follow us and join us at www.bendthearc.us!

“It is not DOJ’s intention to — and it’s never our intention to — improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process,“… Except when we improperly interfere with elections or the state certifications! www.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p...

Hmm, who might these string-pulling, puppet masters be?

Tonight, join a call to support @repilhan.bsky.social against Trump's attacks:

We're headed to Michigan again this weekend, having conversations with Jewish voters about the vital Senate race — and we're training canvassers about how to talk about AIPAC. Read more:

Abdul El-Sayed's message to Michigan Jewish voters on the fence: "If you're committed to democracy itself, there is one candidate on the ballot who's committed to those things...we may have differences when it comes to Israel, but the things that are a lot bigger." 📹: Mychael Schnell at MSNOW

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejected the Trump Administration’s request to cut off medical care for transgender people in federal prison. This ruling affirms that federal prison officials can’t deny transgender people essential health care.

I just donated to @bendthearc.bsky.social to help grow the Jewish movement to defeat fascism. Join me in supporting this urgent work:: www.bendthearc.us/2026_michigan

Who said it?

"In an email to The Michigan Daily, Cole Wozniak, El-Sayed’s campaign spokesperson, wrote: 'Mike Rogers has to pay $200 per person to get people to show up at an event? Yikes. Hundreds of Michiganders show up to every single Abdul town hall for free.'"

Most of Ken Paxton's campaign money comes from the man who threw a sieg heil at Trump's inauguration, openly promotes 'great replacement' theory, and lets Nazis run wild on his social media website. We're proud to have endorsed James Talarico for Senate.

Our Jewish community will see you in the streets tomorrow! No Kings mobilizations have shown our incredible collective strength, as millions of us protested in the streets against abuses of power. No Kings: Vote Early tomorrow is the next step. Find your local mobilization at NoKings.org

Please read and share this video from a descendant of holocaust survivors.

THIS WEEKEND! We're partnering with @workerscircle.bsky.social, @bendthearc.bsky.social, Carolina Jews for Justice and other organizations to knock on doors in Charlotte, NC to GET OUT THE VOTE. Join us: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

DHS and ICE are young. They were created in the fear-driven, xenophobic aftermath of 9/11, and too many departments have done more harm than good since. It's past time to preserve DHS's few critical components — like FEMA — and dismantle the others, just as the Reimagining Safety Act would do.

This election cycle is a critical opportunity for us to defend American democracy, the bedrock of what has made Jews safe in this country for generations. For these reasons and more, Bend the Arc is proud to have endorsed Abdul El-Sayed. Read more about our endorsement here:

Progressives should be able to challenge powerful political organizations, debate U.S. policy toward the State of Israel without fear, and make space in our coalitions for Jews. How do we talk about AIPAC without fueling antisemitism? ⬇️ Read a new piece from our CEO, @jamieberan.bsky.social

Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, the nation's largest domestic-focused progressive Jewish advocacy organization, is proud to endorse @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for U.S. Senate! 🎉

Appalling. Weaponizing the state to target a political opponent, weeks before an election, is nothing but a authoritarian tactic by a desperate administration. We wish we could say we were surprised, but this is textbook fascist behavior. Our Jewish community stands with @repilhan.bsky.social

Don't mistake the flippant anti-Muslim bigotry and laughter for just another Trump ramble. This is the MAGA electoral strategy. Trump is desperate, and all he's got are lazy, racist attempts to divide us from each other. Our strategy is solidarity. And we will win.

Today we mourn.

❤️‍🔥TOMORROW NIGHT❤️‍🔥 Feeling some kind of way abt the election, Cornell, ICE, so much more? UP YOUR ORGANIZING GAME. This is a masterclass with the former Chief Vision Officer of @bendthearc.bsky.social & organizer at @faithinaction.bsky.social; he's brilliant & has trained so many leaders. Join us:

How does Simchat Torah provide a model for fighting authoritarianism? “Democracy, like our sacred text, is not a destination you arrive at. It is a continuous cycle of renewal, protection, and action.” Read a new piece from Bend the Arc CEO @jamieberan.bsky.social in the @timesofisrael.com ⬇️

Mazel tov, @replamonica.bsky.social !

“For years, we’ve pushed government officials to approach antisemitism with this kind of rigor,” said Bend the Arc CEO Jamie Beran. "This is exactly what it looks like when a leader listens.” Read our full statement on @mayor.nyc.gov's new antisemitism report.

Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov for listening and responding to our Jewish community’s concerns and working on tangible solutions that combat antisemitism — and make all of us safer.
