I’m writing to you from the victory party where Zohran Mamdani just got called as the next mayor of New York City!

We are entering a new day, and I’m so proud of this Jewish movement for helping usher it in.

Now the real work begins: this race gives us a new playbook for how to win when we’re up against Trump and his billionaire bullies who try to use Jewish safety to pit us against each other.

Tonight we are celebrating this victory and we need your help to start bringing this new playbook to the critical races we’re taking on in the months ahead.

Can you chip in with $5, $10, or $18 to help us replicate this win in critical races around the country?

With support from people like you, Bend the Arc helped shape this monumental victory with our air game and ground game. Together, we:

💪 Gave Zohran Bend the Arc’s first-ever Mayoral endorsement

💬 Talked to thousands of neighbors through canvasses, tabling, and phonebanks

📰 Changed the narrative about Jewish safety with over 30 mentions in national publications like Politico, Democracy Now, Haaretz, and the Forward, plus local publications in New York and across the nation

📣 Reached millions with our members’ viral videos about why Jewish New Yorkers support Zohran, helping change hearts and minds — and votes!

Together, we told a game-changing story: that Jews support Zohran Mamdani not in spite of our Jewish values, but because of them.

If you’re excited for what we can do together next, I hope you’ll donate to celebrate this win and keep up the momentum in races across the country.

This work doesn’t end with Election Day. At Bend the Arc, we’re going to let Trump know that our movement isn’t done — we’re just getting started.

With tremendous hope for the future we are building together,

Jamie Beran
CEO, Bend the Arc
