It’s time to come home

June 7, 2024

There are 150 days until Election Day, and we all have a role to play in reelecting President Biden, expanding our Senate majority, and winning back the House majority. The stakes have never been higher in an election, and the contrasting views of candidates have never been more clear on key issues of importance to Jewish voters. You can make your voice heard by supporting policies and candidates who share our values and by taking action with JDCA. Together, we will elect Democrats who are fighting to defend democracy and abortion rights, combat antisemitism and extremism, and stand with Israel and the Jewish community.

Take one minute to watch and share our new video, which we hope inspires you to support and join our efforts to defend our shared values at the ballot box.

PLAY: JDCA's Time to Come Home Video

This election is the most important election of our lifetimes. For Jewish Americans, the contrast between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is crystal clear on the issues that matter most to our community, including democracy, abortion rights, Israel, antisemitism, and the economy. At the same time, we have seen a dramatic uptick in disinformation aimed at muddling this clear choice. It’s up to each of us to spread the truth about how President Biden and Democrats are delivering for Jewish Americans.

Read a new op-ed from JDCA Board member Jill Goldenberg and JDCA New Leadership Council member Nanette Fridman about this contrast and why it is imperative that Jewish Americans help to reelect President Joe Biden.

Can’t wait until June 27 to watch the first presidential debate? We have an opportunity for you next week to join JDCA in  The Great Debate at AJC’s Global Forum in Washington, D.C., where we’ll contrast President Biden and Democrats’ strong record of delivering for Jewish Americans with the threat posed by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans.

The AJC “Great Debate” will be on Tuesday, June 11, at 9:00 a.m. ET. If you can’t attend in person, we encourage you to watch the livestream.

Shabbat Shalom,

Board Chair, Jewish Democratic Council of America
