GOTV: VOTE FORWARD Gears Up for March

In early March 2024 you can expect new statewide letter writing campaigns for Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

 In this critical election year, our goal is to help turn out millions of infrequent voters, with a special focus on young voters under 35 in our Social campaigns.

To join in the effort, email  Deb Lelchuk at advocacy@ncjwlongbeach.org.

More on Repro Shabbat 

More than 2,000 communities and advocates hosted Repro Shabbat events this weekend, sending a resounding message: Reproductive Freedom is a Jewish Value! Thank you to those of you who joined in.

As we know, the fight to reclaim reproductive freedom in this country is a marathon, not a sprint. With your continued support, we move from education to action.

Here are ways you can take action right now:

• Sign the pledge: With two potentially catastrophic cases before the US Supreme Court, now more than ever we must raise our Jewish voices in support of abortion because of religion, not in spite of it. Join NCJW to pledge your support for abortion access.

• Get a jumpstart on Abortion Care Provider Appreciation Day coming up on March 10. Show your local abortion providers some love for their dedication, compassion, resilience, and courage using our print-at-home postcards. You can also buy pre-printed postcards from the NCJW shop.

• Donate to the Jewish Fund for Abortion Access. The Jewish Fund continues to make a collective impact as the best way to give Jewishly for abortion access.

Again, thank you for your support and for your action. We’re so glad you’re with us — for Repro Shabbat and beyond!
