ICE is Counting on Our Silence

ICE is Counting on Our Silence

May 15, 2026

Bend the Arc CEO Jamie Beran and T’ruah CEO Rabbi Jill Jacobs just published an op-ed that makes one thing very clear: ICE is counting on our silence.

With a massive blank check for ICE still moving through the Senate, our job right now as American Jews is to not let authoritarians use our safety to dismantle the democracy our ancestors helped build.

Can you join us for a critical volunteer shift to call voters in key states before Congress restarts debate on ICE funding next week?

Special Bend the Arc & Indivisible phonebank:
Fund Communities, Not Chaos
Tuesday, May 19th
2:30 – 4:30pm ET on Zoom

Right now we only need FIVE Republicans to defect to kill the reconciliation bill, cancel the blank check, and help get ICE OUT of our communities.

But if we’re going to make that happen, they need to hear from us in the streets, in their offices, and on their phones.

It’s a big ask, but this movement has moved mountains before, and we can do it again with your help.

📰 Read and share the new op-ed “ICE Is Counting on Our Silence.”

📲 RSVP to join Jews Against ICE and our allies at Indivisible on Tuesday, May 19th.
