10 Ways to Plague the Trump Regime
In the Passover story, we read of a ‘new Pharaoh’ who fomented fear of our ancestors and issued evil decrees stripping people of their freedoms and safety. Like Pharaoh, Donald Trump is attempting to consolidate power through fear and bigotry. Today, we are called upon to learn from the midwives who risked their lives by refusing to obey Pharaoh’s orders and take action to defend our democracy and the rights of all Americans.
God sent 10 plagues to Egypt to free the Israelites. We are calling on you to take 10 actions to combat Trump’s tyranny. Read JDCA’s full Passover Companion here.
1. Protect Jewish Communities
Trump and Musk are blocking hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for security grants to protect synagogues, Jewish community centers, Jewish day schools, and other institutions. Tell Trump to reinstate security grants to protect Jewish Americans.
2. Demand Trump Obey SCOTUS and Return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia:
Trump is disobeying the Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father who was sent to a prison in El Salvador in what the administration admitted was an “administrative error.” Demand your elected officials hold Trump accountable and bring Kilmar home.
3. Protect Jewish Students
Trump is dismantling the Department of Education, threatening funding for critical programs for students and cutting the department’s role in protecting Jewish students against civil rights abuses. Tell Trump to protect Jewish Students and fund the Department of Education.
