“The Voting Rights Act is dead. This is a Jewish problem.” That’s the title of Bend the Arc CEO Jamie Beran’s newest post in the Times of Israel. She writes:
“Too often, we talk about Jewish voting rights organizing like it’s charity work. That couldn’t be further from the truth; attacks on voting rights, like antisemitism, are a canary in the coal mine for looming authoritarianism.”
That’s why, tomorrow, we’re gathering with 5 incredible voting rights experts who will share how Jews and allies can protect this year’s critical midterm elections.
Last chance to RSVP for tomorrow’s national Jewish election protection call at 7pm ET.
Make Their Memories a Blessing: From Jewish Legacy to Action in the 2026 Midterms

As Jamie concludes in her post on voting rights, “We are heartbroken about what is happening to this country. And we are whole enough in that heartbreak to keep going. We know what it looks like when the machinery of the state turns on the people. Now we have to decide that we’ll do something about it.”
On tomorrow’s nationwide call of American Jews, we’ll collectively:
- Perform a yahrzeit ritual and ground ourselves in Jewish spiritual tradition
- Understand how SCOTUS decisions are already reshaping the electoral landscape and state of voting rights in the US, and
- Learn how we can get in formation to protect our elections and defeat anti-democratic, white supremacist policies.
We hope to see you tomorrow!
