Today, I will be testifying in front of Congress about antisemitism, Jewish safety, and the health of our community. 

It is a privilege to be chosen as the only expert witness for Democrats, and I want to be absolutely ready to make your voices heard in front of our leaders in Washington, DC. 

This is our chance to talk about solutions, not just problems. So I’m asking you, what do you think Congress needs to know about fighting antisemitism?

For years, Bend the Arc has been dedicated to making progressive Jewish voices heard where it matters most. Today, we’ll have the eyes of the nation on us. 

When I appear before Congress later, I’ll make it clear that the way antisemitism has been used to justify attacks on our democracy and our neighbors is unacceptable — and that real Jewish safety requires real safety for all.

But I want to make sure that my testimony is a reflection of this community and the solutions we’ve been working so hard to implement together.

Will you share what you think Congress needs to know about fighting antisemitism before I testify today? 

With gratitude and solidarity,

Jamie Beran
CEO, Bend the Arc
