Dear Friends,
The Jewish community is facing extraordinary challenges, but we are not powerless.
We have a few important opportunities to learn, engage, and take action together—and I hope you'll join us.
FIRST: WATCH BROOKE'S NOW-VIRAL SPEECH FROM ISRAEL
This week, Brooke Goldstein delivered a powerful address at the JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem that is already resonating with audiences around the world.
As Brooke said:
"Perhaps it is not our job to win a PR war. It is not the job of the Jewish people to convince the world to love us. And it is certainly not our job to seek permission to exist. The modern State of Israel exists because David Ben-Gurion refused to ask permission. Jewish survival never depended on approval, and it shouldn't now."
If you haven't watched it yet, please take a few minutes to do so—and then share it widely.

Brooke's message is a reminder that courage is contagious, and that every one of us has a role to play in this fight.
URGENT LEGAL BRIEFING WITH BROOKE GOLDSTEIN & ZIPORAH REICH
Join Brooke Goldstein and Ziporah Reich of The Lawfare Project for an exclusive briefing on the landmark legal battles reshaping the future of Jewish civil rights on campus.
For decades, universities have tolerated discrimination against Jewish students with little accountability. That era is ending.
From groundbreaking lawsuits against institutions that failed to protect Jewish students to precedent-setting cases exposing harassment, retaliation, and the influence of foreign funding on American campuses, The Lawfare Project is using the law to force change where administrators have refused to act.
Hear directly from the attorneys leading these efforts. Learn what's happening behind the scenes, what victories have already been achieved, and what comes next in the fight to hold universities accountable.
These cases are not just about today's students. They will help determine whether Jewish students can openly and proudly live as Jews on campus for generations to come.
This free online briefing is your opportunity to hear firsthand from the legal team on the front lines of the fight against Jew hatred.
Join from anywhere. Bring three friends. The future won't be shaped by spectators—it will be shaped by those who show up.

BROOKLYN PROTEST — TOMORROW
Tomorrow, we will gather in Brooklyn to stand against discrimination targeting Jews and send a clear message that exclusion, bigotry, and hate have no place in our communities.
Showing up matters. Visibility matters. Solidarity matters.
If you're within driving distance, we hope you'll join us.
This is one of those moments when being present sends a message far beyond the people standing beside you.
If you've been following the headlines but aren't familiar with the full story, our Director of Strategy, Michelle Ahdoot, breaks it down here.

ONE SIMPLE ASK
If you can attend, please forward this email to your networks and help spread the word.
Every attendee becomes another informed advocate. Every share expands our reach. Every person who shows up strengthens our community. Those working against Jewish civil rights are organized. We must be organized, too.
If you cannot attend, please take 30 seconds to share Brooke's speech, the legal briefing, and the Brooklyn protest with your friends, family, groups, and social networks. Small actions can have an extraordinary impact.
The future of our community will not be determined by those who oppose us—it will be shaped by those willing to stand up, speak out, and take action.
We hope you'll be one of them.
Warmly,
Chloé Jo Davis
Development Director
The Lawfare Project & #EndJewHatred
