Conference Call w/Amb. Dan Shapiro, on the Jews Dem Response to Trump, August 26 @ 12:00 pm EDT

August 23, 2019

In the past week, the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) has been in the eye of the storm representing the voice of Jewish Democrats, giving voice to our values as they are repeatedly attacked by President Trump. In case you missed it, we strongly and publicly rejected Trump’s ongoing efforts to politicize the U.S.-Israel relationship and weaponize anti-Semitism. A short video summarizing our message can be found here.

We’re speaking out because we’re loyal to our values, and we invite you to join the conversation on Monday, August 26, at 12:00 pm EDT for a community conference call with former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro on the “Jewish Dem response to Trump”. Few are more qualified than Ambassador Shapiro to offer insight on recent developments, what it means for the U.S.-Israel relationship, and navigating the path forward as Jewish Democrats.
