4️⃣ Ways to Take Action in the Next 3️⃣ Weeks

October 16, 2026

The best antidote to election anxiety is action. The midterm elections are underway, with mail-in and early voting having begun in many states, and they end in 22 days. That means now is the time to take action to help Democrats take back control of Congress and work with JDCA to elect Democrats who share our values.

Here are four ways you can take action with JDCA in the next week:

  1. Join JDCA and the DNC this Thursday, October 15, at 7:30 p.m. ET for “A Call to Action with the DNC’s Jewish American Council.” The DNC recently launched the Jewish American Council. JDCA is proud to be part of that effort, and we invite you to tune in to hear from JDCA CEO Halie Soifer alongside DNC Council Chair Adam Goldwyn, Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10), Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried, and College Democrats Jewish Caucus Chair Hannah Levine-Rothfeld.
  2. Join a JDCA phone bank to turn out the Jewish vote. JDCA is phonebanking every day, Sunday through Thursday. In several key districts, Jewish voters can make the difference between victory and defeat for Democrats, and we’re working to turn out every vote in support of Democrats who share our values. We’ve already made more than 500,000 direct voter contacts. Join us.
  3. Sign up to canvass with JDCA. We’re going door-to-door in swing states through Election Day, often with the candidates. This is your chance to talk to voters about the stakes of this election and the importance of their vote.
  4. Subscribe to the Jewish Dem Download and join us for a live conversation with Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes next Monday, October 19, at 12 p.m. ET. The Jewish Dem Download is your source for information about Jewish Democrats, the midterm elections, efforts to defend democracy, and more.

We look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail!
