My husband and I thought an activist would come and lead us after we cleaned the living room. We realized WE had to make this happen. ‘Us??’ But we decided to step up, that now is the time to stretch ourselves. We got a well-thought-out agenda and help preparing. We had a small but very passionate, engaged group of people attend. We're working on next steps and connecting with others in the Bay Area.

What we do
Bend the Arc is building a multiracial, multiethnic, intergenerational movement of Jews and allies all across the country who are rising up to build an American future free from white supremacy, antisemitism, and racism. In Washington, DC and cities across the country we:
Organize in solidarity
Jews across the country must be part of the 3.5% of sustained resistance that we need to defeat authoritarianism. We grow the Jewish resistance through mass mobilizations, political education, and organizing arm-in-arm with our partners.
Work for transformational policies
We must protect our existing freedoms and social safety nets and expand them to meet people’s material needs. A more equitable society where everyone has what they need to thrive is how we dismantle antisemitism and all bigotry.
Take back Jewish safety
The MAGA movement uses false promises of Jewish safety to push their authoritarian agenda and target immigrant communities, protestors, and those who dissent. We help Jews and allies see through this strategy and work for true safety through solidarity.
