Working so closely with Long Island’s faith communities, LIJWJ gets to know many amazing organizations and individuals. We hope you’ll join us to honor one of them who has been front and center resisting authoritarianism and standing up for justice – Bend the Arc!
“Founded in 2012, Bend the Arc is a multiracial, multiethnic, intergenerational movement of Jews, organizing for a just and equitable United States where all people — within and beyond our Jewish community — are free and thriving. Bend the Arc has been the only national Jewish organization focused exclusively on progressive social change in the United States. Jews across the country must be part of the 3.5% of sustained resistance that we need to defeat authoritarianism. We grow the Jewish resistance through mass mobilizations, political education, and organizing arm-in-arm with our partners.
Our Long Island chapter was formed in 2016 and works in coalition with partners to pass legislation for immigrant justice, parole justice and more. We work on political campaigns, partnering with candidates and organizations to get out the vote, to elect candidates who share our values and to call out bad actors and hold them accountable. We lobby Federal and state legislators, participating in days of action, running political education workshops and much, much more!”
Please join us for an energizing, movement-strengthening, and worker-centered evening on Tuesday July 14th at Captain Bill’s in Bay Shore! Reserve your tickets here!
This dinner also provides important financial support for LIJWJ’s coalition building work. So if you can’t make it but would still like to support please leave a donation!
Thank you for being a friend of LIJWJ, and we’re glad to be alongside you in the fight for workers’ rights!
In solidarity,
Long Island Jobs with Justice
