The letter of demands from our Pittsburgh Jewish leaders has made national headlines, with over 130,000 people signing on through us and partners who jumped in. Thank you all — these demands are critical for the future of our country, and for our collective safety.

Trump is trying to change the topic, because our demands are too powerful for him to ignore. He just announced that he is preparing an executive order to end birthright citizenship, which is completely unconstitutional. This is the *same white nationalist violence* that caused the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue, and the killing of two Black community members in Kentucky this week.
Trump is trying to distract us and rile up his base before the election. We won’t let him. We will not be divided. We are only safe in solidarity.
The attack in Pittsburgh was no doubt targeting Jews just for being Jews. But we can’t make a mistake and forget that in this moment, all of us are under threat.
Whether you can gather hundreds at City Hall, or a minyan of 10 at a local park, we hope you’ll rise up with us.
