In the year leading up to the 2016 election, from days of action in over 50 cities, to videos seen by millions, and the largest Jewish get out the vote operation, our community rallied to demonstrate unprecedented resistance to Trump’s politics of hate and bigotry. We made it clear that Jews across the country rejected Trumpism, leading to 76% of Jewish voters voting against Trump at the ballot box.
The day after the election, we published an Open Letter from American Jews — signed by 45,000 people — to everyone threatened by Trump’s election, promising that we will stay by their sides in solidarity. We’ve been working tirelessly to uphold that promise throughout the Trump presidency.
In their 2016 Progressive Honor Roll, The Nation named We’ve Seen This Before the “Most Valuable Activist Campaign” of the year.
