At the end of a long week, I want to share how grateful I am for what we accomplished together.

We spent months talking to Jewish and undecided swing state voters about the importance of voting and defeating Trump.

The result? The largest exit poll showed 79% of Jewish voters supported Kamala Harris over Trump, despite heavy Republican investment and disinformation. That’s greater than President Biden, who got 77% of the Jewish vote in 2020.^1,2

Through countless conversations, our movement of Jews and allies combatted division and fear with compassion and commitment. I am so proud.

Looking forward, we are clear-eyed about the threats that we and our neighbors will face in a second Trump administration. We’ve spent months preparing for this possibility, and we need you with us.

You can take action right now by donating to support our movement’s work in the critical weeks and months ahead. 

Bend the Arc was the first Jewish organization to sound the alarm about Trump’s racist, antisemitic, xenophobic campaign in 2015. Then we helped lead the Jewish resistance throughout Trump’s first presidency — protecting our communities, fighting antisemitism, and blocking the worst of his policies.

We’ve only grown in strength, strategy, and connection since then. In our movement, we have everything we need to show up and fight for our freedoms, futures, and families.

Despair can freeze us in our place. Division can turn our powerful “many,” organizing together, into a cornered “few.” Instead, we are choosing each other and taking action.

Shabbat shalom, 

Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block
Washington Director, Bend the Arc
