VOTE and tell them Ruth sent you

This week, we mourned the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who today became the first woman and first Jewish American to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol. Even after her tragic passing, RBG is breaking glass ceilings and paving the path for equality in our country.

As we honor her legacy – and grapple with Donald Trump’s latest refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power after this election – we know the best path forward is to VOTE. There’s one response to Trump’s threats that we hope he and Republicans will understand, and that is to overwhelmingly defeat them at the polls.

Earlier this week, as Justice Ginsburg was memorialized at the Supreme Court and thousands began paying their respects, the Washington Post released a new report on President Trump’s abhorrent antisemitism and racism. The Post reported that “After phone calls with Jewish lawmakers, Trump has muttered that Jews ‘are only in it for themselves’ and ‘stick together’ in an ethnic allegiance that exceeds other loyalties.” This is not the first virulently antisemitic statement made by Trump, and sadly it won’t be the last. We’re keeping track.

Jewish Democrats know that four more years of Trump’s anti-Semitism, mistreatment of marginalized communities, and assaults on democracy could prove fatal. As the Senate prepares to consider Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Ginsburg, our work is more urgent than ever before.
