Bend the Arc Jewish Action: South Jersey

@btasj.bsky.social

Bend the Arc's newest Chapter! Building a progressive Jewish presence in South Jersey, confronting and opposing white nationalism, and acting in solidarity with local fights for justice. https://southjersey.bendthearc.us/

The IHRA is a deceptive attempt to stifle free speech in the name of Jewish safety, ultimately blaming Jews for the erosion of a free and open democracy. It is dangerous, and actually makes our community much less safe. Contact your state reps NOW and tell them to vote no!

Trump’s attacks on our democracy don't make Jews safer; they put us in more danger.

"Jewish safety means safety for Jews we agree with and those we disagree with. It means safety for Palestinians. It means we see the safe return of all hostages. It means safety for our neighbors. It means safety for all people." Read our response to recent attacks at American Jewish gatherings:

If the White House were serious about fighting antisemitism, they could start by not hiring people with ties to extremists. Our CEO, @amyspitalnick.bsky.social on @npr.org with @tomdreisbach.bsky.social, on the appointment of multiple White House officials with ties to antisemitic extremists.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.
