I just left the Capitol building, where I testified in Congress about antisemitism and Jewish safety. 

As the sole expert witness for Democrats, I told Congress what our Bend the Arc community knows: that when politicians claim to fight antisemitism by attacking our democracy and our neighbors, they actually put Jews — and all of us — in danger.

I told them we need to change the story and the way we fight antisemitism. That’s what Bend the Arc exists to do, and it’s why I’m asking for your support today. 

Watch my testimony at the Congressional hearing on antisemitism today and chip in $18 to power real solutions for Jewish safety.

My testimony in front of Congress was just one of the countless actions we’re taking to advocate for real, powerful solutions to antisemitism that strengthen our democracy — like funding the HHS Office of Civil Rights, an agency gutted by Trump and his DOGE army.

In 2025, Bend the Arc reached:

• Hundreds of elected officials and staff with support on responding to antisemitism
• 170 local and national partner organizations 
• Over a thousand people through our Dismantling Antisemitism training program
• Millions through our content on social media

In 2026, our eyes are on the prize: we are organizing Jews and allies to defeat authoritarianism, the greatest threat to all of our safety.

That’s where you come in. Now that the eyes of the nation are on our organization, we’re counting on supporters like you to step up and help us reach our ambitious goals for 2026. Will you chip in $18 today to keep pushing our mission forward?

With gratitude and solidarity,

Jamie Beran
CEO, Bend the Arc
