Abortion is on the Ballot

February 9, 2024

We are committed to advocating for policies and supporting candidates who are defending reproductive rights, and know that abortion access will remain a top issue for Jewish voters in 2024. In next week’s NY-3 special election, Democrat Tom Suozzi is the only candidate we can count on to defend reproductive freedom.

JDCA PAC’s new ad targeting Jewish voters in the district highlights Republican Mazi Pilip saying that she believes the Supreme Court “made the right decision” overturning Roe v. Wade. If Republicans win in 2024, they will try to enact a federal abortion ban and we must stop them.

The Jewish vote can make the difference in NY-3 by electing Democrat Tom Suozzi and flipping a red seat blue, bringing Democrats one seat closer to winning back the House majority in November. Watch our new ad and join our efforts to elect Democrats who share our values.

GET OUT THE VOTE IN HONOR OF REPRO SHABBAT
JDCA is proud to join the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW) as a co-sponsor of Repro Shabbat, an annual opportunity to honor the important Jewish value of reproductive freedom. Sign up to put our values into action as we get out the Jewish vote in NY-3 to protect access to abortion access. Join JDCA’s NY-3 phone bank on Monday with special guest Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), and make no mistake — abortion is on the ballot in 2024.

JEWISH DEMS SPEAKING OUT
JDCA continues to speak out as the national voice of Jewish voters in support of Democrats and in advocating for policies that reflect our values. Check out some of our recent interviews and analysis in the press.

  • ABC News featured JDCA’s work to flip NY-3 from red to blue, and quoted JDCA saying this race is “a bellwether for the 2024 election — if we can flip this seat, it bodes well for Democrats in November.”
  • Jewish Insider covered JDCA’s work getting out the Jewish vote in NY-3.
  • The Guardian cites JDCA for the impact that the Jewish population can have in the NY-3 special election.
  • The San Diego Jewish World summarized JDCA’s candidate forum for the California Senate Democratic primary. Watch and share the event.

We could not do this work without you, and we’re grateful for your partnership. Thank you for your continued support of JDCA and JDCA PAC as we lay the groundwork for wins in 2024, starting with this critically important election in NY-3.

Shabbat Shalom,
