Trump’s Darkness vs. Our Light

October 28, 2024

Did you see Trump’s racist and unhinged rally at Madison Square Garden last night?

The Trump campaign’s closing message to Americans included racist, antisemitic, xenophobic, and misogynistic targeting of Black Americans, Arab Americans, Jewish Americans, and Puerto Ricans. It was an example of the hate, vitriol, and dystopia that would define a second Trump term. It also emphasized the importance of our work in the next eight days to defeat him and elect Kamala Harris.

While Donald Trump was spewing hate and darkness over the weekend, Jewish Democrats across the country were spreading truth and light, getting out the vote in swing states that will determine the outcome of this election. This weekend, JDCA volunteers knocked on doors and made phone calls to Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Maryland, and Virginia. Together, we made 20,000 direct contacts with Jewish voters in a single day.

We all have a role to play to keep this momentum going. There are only eight days left to get out the Jewish vote, and we hope you’ll join us. Sign up for Last Call to Save Democracy – our final rally, canvasses, and phone banks – and check out some pictures of our work this weekend.

SIGN UP FOR JDCA’S LAST CALL TO SAVE DEMOCRACY

Kamala Harris has a strong record of standing with Jewish Americans and fighting for our safety, reproductive freedom, and democracy, and together, we will play a critical role in ensuring the Jewish vote remains an essential part of a winning Democratic coalition.

Also, in less than an hour, in Pittsburgh, one day after the sixth anniversary of the deadliest massacre of Jewish Americans at the Tree of Life Synagogue, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff will deliver a pointed speech on the threat posed to Jewish Americans by Donald Trump’s antisemitism and desire for unchecked power.

The Second Gentleman is set to take the stage at 5:00 p.m. ET. Tune in live HERE.

Sincerely,

Halie Soifer

CEO, Jewish Democratic Council of America
