Last night Vice President Kamala Harris closed her remarks by saying: We’ve heard two different visions of the future. We want a president who invests in our dreams, not in fear and division. We’re not going back, and we have so much more in common than what separates us.
I agree. It was impossible not to flinch when Trump spewed fear-mongering lies about immigrants, praised fascist, antisemitic strongmen, had only “concepts of a plan” for healthcare, and refused to agree to a peaceful transfer of power (again).
In the next 54 days, Bend the Arc will fill hundreds of volunteer shifts to get out the vote in critical swing states — where every phone call, text, and door knock will make a difference.
Last night’s debate was a turning point: the first time these two candidates met each other and, together, the American people.
Next week, after our big virtual Jews For Kamala rally, we’ll be expanding our calendar of volunteer opportunities through November.
Thank you for rising up to elect the only candidate we know we can organize as progressive Jews and allies to fight for the issues we care most about. I believe in us.
In solidarity,
Jamie Beran
CEO, Bend the Arc
