“ICE is an affront to Torah.”
Hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and Jewish leaders turned out to a massive protest outside ICE headquarters in Washington DC.
Organized by @truahrabbis and @bendthearc , it was the largest-ever Jewish faith protest against ICE, with satellite protests around the country with our partners at @jca_mn and @jalsa_boston

It’s not just Elon Musk’s salute. Learn about Smokescreen Antisemitism, the right’s complex strategy to use antisemitism to create fear and division and while pointing the finger at other groups.

Rabbi Mike Moskowitz knows it’s not enough to love peace. We have to pursue it. That’s why he joined 10 rabbis and two reverends who were arrested in New York City on April 30 for blocking traffic in front of ICE headquarters — part of the Jews Demand ICE OUT! national day of action organized by @truahrabbis and @BendtheArc .
Rabbi Moskowitz (@moskowitz.mike ) would rather be at court in midtown today than have to justify in a heavenly court why he was silent in the face of ICE brutality. This is what rabbis do.
We know that this cruel deportation agenda is a threat to all of our safety. As Jews, we will not stop fighting.

“Every time we show up in the streets matters as we move through the wilderness to become the country of our aspirations.”

“We are not alone, and we are all connected.”
Bend the Arc CEO @jamie_beran_ spoke at the Jews Demand: ICE OUT! mass mobilization in New York last week about why our history and our values lead us to take a moral stand against ICE’s cruelty.
She tells the story of Chinese Americans solidarity with Jewish immigrants following the 1903 Kishinev massacre, a powerful reminder of how different communities share a vision for collective safety.

In the Mishnah, Pirkei Avot reminds us to “not only look at the vessel, but what’s inside it.”
Make no mistake: the ruling this week by a conservative majority Supreme Court is devastating. But when we look inside the vessel, we see that it also means they fear our votes.
The Voting Rights Act is celebrated not only for protecting voting rights, but as a pillar of desegregation. Attacks on that pillar are an attack on our right to vote today. This ruling is a flagrant act of resegregation.
By targeting Black voters across the South, the regime and its enablers look to favor, in every aspect of life, one type of American over every single other. And for them, that American must be right-wing, Christian, wealthy, and white.
Stripping away voting rights has a single goal: ensuring voters can’t exercise their power no matter how much money Republicans steal from our kitchen tables to distribute to billionaires or how much violence and bigotry they fuel to divide us.
It’s easy to witness acts like this and feel disempowered. That’s their aim. But this decision is also an admission that they fear our power. They fear our votes.
This Shabbat we mourn the harm this decision will create, and we commit all the more to fight for every vote, protect every election, and schlep people to the polls. We will fight so that no matter what obstruction they throw at us, the true American majority will win. Because only then can we begin to rebuild and fulfill this nation’s promise: a country that is safe for all and where everyone can thrive.
Join us.
