We know that most Jewish American immigration stories would not be possible at all under today’s immigration laws. And we can’t be silent now as Trump and Congress support policies that leave millions of undocumented immigrants in America in terror.
Watch and share: Jews call on Rep. Rodney Davis to support the Dream Act.
New York
In New York, where Rep. John Faso votes in line with Trump's positions nearly 90% of the time, local leaders in the Hudson Valley went to his office to demand he choose a side: with or against white supremacy.
At the shofar blast in New York, Allen, a Dreamer, shared this: "It's painful. I want to wake up one day and not worry about racism, not worry about being deported. I'm here and feel empowered by you guys — but it's very hard for us. 800,000 people are going through the same thing I am. We don't want to be a bargaining chip for the wall. I've been here 25 years, and all I need is a piece of paper."
The local activists livestreamed the whole action, and we made a post with the top moments.
Watch and share: Jews and allies blast the shofar to make Rep. John Faso choose a side.
Turn Congress 180
This is Turn Congress 180 — Bend the Arc’s new campaign run by local volunteers, demanding their Representative choose a side: they can either continue enabling Trump’s immoral agenda, or they can stand up for all the people who feel threatened, scared, and are in hiding because of Trump and Congress.
