The biggest protest in history + Zohran’s NY win — now what?

The biggest protest in history + Zohran’s NY win — now what?

June 25, 2025

Earlier this month, No Kings Day was the largest protest in U.S. history. Last night, Zohran Mamdani and a groundswell of volunteers won a historic victory in New York. It’s clear that millions of people are looking for a political home and are ready to rise up.

That’s where Bend the Arc comes in. We’re ready to welcome and empower the masses of Jews and allies who want to fight for a new future — and with your help, we can.

I’m reaching out because we need to raise $20,000 before our June 30 fiscal year deadline so we can scale up absorbing new people into our movement, mobilize actions against Trump and MAGA, and fight for the future we all deserve. Can you rush a gift of $3 to help us meet our budget goal and grow our movement for the urgent fights ahead?


Here’s how we’ve empowered Jews and allies like you around the country since January — and where we go from here:

It started at Trump’s inauguration, with nearly 10,000 people taking action with us after the ADL defended Elon Musk’s Nazi salute.

Every month since, we’ve helped Jews and allies take to the streets at protests around the country — from LA to May Day to No Kings and more.

When Trump began disappearing our immigrant neighbors in the false name of Jewish safety, we said:

Do not use Jews to enact your cruelty.

Do not use antisemitism as a smokescreen to distract from your fascist plans.

We will never stop fighting alongside our immigrant family and all who are targeted by this cruel MAGA agenda.

Grassroots donors who chip in with $3, $5, $10, or $18 power our work. Join them today with a gift of $3, or any other amount, to help us bring more Jews and allies into our movement in the critical months ahead.



State by state, we’re empowering Jews to rise up — like New Yorkers who helped defeat a full mask ban in the state budget.

Together, we’re making an impact — and thousands of Jews and allies are jumping into action with Bend the Arc to meet the moment.

Numbers that show Bend the Arc's impact since January 2025 — in people trained, elected official contacts, social media reach, and press hits.

With your support, this strength, these numbers, and our impact, we can grow the Jewish movement to beat back Trump. Help us raise $20,000 by June 30 with a gift of $3 to absorb and empower action takers — in the streets, online, and in the halls of power.

Thank you, for all you do to make our movement’s work possible, and for giving what you can now to help grow our Jewish resistance.

With deep gratitude,
