That’s why at Bend the Arc we've launched Turn Congress 180: A volunteer-led campaign that gives key Representatives across the country a choice — continue enabling an immoral agenda or turn 180 degrees towards protecting our democracy and our lives.
Right now, Bend the Arc staff and a team of stellar volunteer coaches are working with leaders who are raising their hands to get involved in key Congressional districts — helping them plan successful campaigns to hold their Representatives accountable. We're only at the very start of this work, with much more planned.
But we need your help to reach our goal: To organize 18 campaigns led by groups of 10 volunteers or more, so we can Turn Congress 180. 18 x 10 = 180! Even if you don't live in or near a target district, you can still help us win.
Will you chip in $18 to help us grow this national effort even faster and train more local campaign leaders?
We’ve just hired an amazing National Organizer & Training Coordinator to train volunteer leaders in how to build powerful local teams, hold prophetic public actions, and shape the media narrative to show the gap between the actions of Congress and our Jewish and American values. With your donation, we can support more trainings, travel, and tools for local groups and leaders launching Turn Congress 180 campaigns.
Because if an elected Representative is voting to take away healthcare, we are going to hold them accountable for enabling an immoral agenda.
If an elected Representative is voting to tear apart immigrant families or deny religious minorities and people of color their civil rights, we are going to hold them accountable for enabling an immoral agenda.
If an elected Representative is voting with Trump 95, 97, and 100% of the time, we are going to hold them accountable for enabling an immoral agenda.
Accountability — that tool we have as the Jewish Resistance to make sure our Representatives take responsibility or face the consequences of their actions.
Own a part of this campaign — give $18 to help us grow Turn Congress 180
Together we will raise our voices as Jews to confront Trump and the rightwing agenda. Because when we raise our collective moral voice, we serve as a warning cry to those in power that their time on the wrong side of history is limited.
With gratitude,
Stosh Cotler
Chief Executive Officer
