It’s an honor to organize together for justice, year after year. Come with us on a tour of Hanukkah at Bend the Arc through the years!
In 2015, Jews and allies showed their support for the movement for Black lives by dedicating their menorahs to the fight for racial justice.
In 2017, Hanukkah was a protest against Steve Bannon and Rep. Lee Zeldin during Trump’s first administration.
In 2018, Hanukkah was a protest against ICE, CBP, and Trump's border wall.
In 2020, we hosted Lights of Resistance, a national online Hanukkah lighting to celebrate our election wins with partners from around the country.
2021 was a poster declaring our fight in solidarity for a country free from racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy.
In 2022 our Hanukkah celebrations included a BIPOC Hanukkah party for Jews of Color and their loved ones.
This year, we made a poster to say Jews will always resist fascism and dream ourselves into the future.
If you haven’t yet, download the 2024 resistance menorah here.
If you already printed the poster, please send us a photo of where you put it up before the holiday ends! Email us at [email protected] or tag us on social media.
We are grateful to be in this movement with you. These memories remind us that our multiracial Jewish community is powerful, and together we are changing the country around us.
Wishing you a bright and meaningful Hanukkah!
PS: With our year-end fundraising deadline approaching, we hope you’ll consider including Bend the Arc in the list of organizations you support. Your donation of $10, $36, or any other amount will help keep the flame of resistance lit for the critical months to come.
