LAST CALL to Save Democracy
With just four days left until the critically important midterm election, JDCA and JDCA PAC are doing everything we can to get out the Jewish vote in support of Democrats.
Our grassroots movement of Jewish Democrats has grown to new heights during this election, and we’re having an impact.
- With over 600 volunteers engaged at 78 events since August, JDCA volunteers have contacted voters over 1.3 million times in 16 states.
- JDCA PAC’s ads have already reached Jewish voters more than 32.5 million times in 11 states where the Jewish vote will deliver for Democrats.
Our work isn’t finished, and here’s where you come in. Join Last Call: 72 Hours to Save Democracy to call and text Jewish voters (only those who haven’t yet voted!) in the final days of the election.
Sign up to join us on Sunday, November 6 at 12:00 p.m. ET/9:00 a.m. PT with famed Jewish comedians Judy Gold and Alex Edelman and Oscar, Grammy, Tony, and Olivier Award-winning songwriter and producer Benj Pasek.
