Black Lives Matter. We're rising up for Black liberation.

 

        

Bend the Arc rises in solidarity with the powerful uprising all across this country demanding dignity for Black lives and justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, Sean Reed, James Scurlock, David McAtee, Jacob Blake, Daniel Prude, and the countless other Black lives taken at the hands of police officers and white supremacists.


Our Jewish community is committed to Black lives and Black liberation, including Black Jews. We call for our Jewish community, especially white Jews, to rise up for Black lives using all of our spiritual, political and intellectual resources.
