Summer Solstice Message

June 21, 2024

Longer summer days mean one thing: more time to call and engage Jewish voters to impact the outcome of this critically important election in just 136 days. We hope you’ll join our efforts to get out the Jewish vote for Democrats who share our values.

Yesterday was the longest day of the year, but if Donald Trump wins in November, the day after the election will feel even longer – as will every day of his presidency – just as we experienced four years ago. It’s up to us to make sure we never again experience the endless, dangerous days of a second Trump term. This isn’t hyperbole – Trump has pledged to be a dictator. Who knows if he’d even adhere to term limits?

We have work to do, and the longest days of the year are the perfect time to get involved. More time to make more calls!

During June and July, JDCA is hosting over a dozen events in the country’s most important states and districts, listed below, including:

  • Phone banks for George Latimer in NY-16’s Democratic primary on Tuesday;
  • An issues forum in the Democratic primary for the AZ-1 race; and
  • Phone banks in the battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Sign up to call Jewish voters in key states and districts to ensure victory for Democrats in the House, Senate, and the White House.

You can participate no matter where you live.

JDCA prides itself on hosting premiere events for Jewish voters across the country, giving people the opportunity to get involved in advocacy, mobilize Jewish voters, and elect Democrats, all of which align with our core values.

  • Pennsylvania Phone Bank: JDCA and the Democratic Jewish Outreach of Pennsylvania (DJOP) are calling Jewish voters to ensure we reelect Sen. Bob Casey, President Biden, and other Democrats.
  • Ohio Phone Bank: Join us in getting out the Jewish vote for Sen. Sherrod Brown and President Biden.
