NCJW Weekly Advocacy Wrap-Up: July 9
NO FEAR: A Rally In Solidarity with the Jewish People
Sunday, July 11, 1PM ET
WASHINGTON D.C.

National Council of Jewish Women is officially sponsoring No Fear: A Rally in Solidarity with the Jewish People. As you know, antisemitism is on the rise in the U.S. and we do not have the option to remain silent. The #NoFearRally is an opportunity for us to stand in solidarity with a diverse coalition of Jews and allies from across the political and denominational spectrum and loudly reject antisemitic hate.
 
The event will feature speeches by Noa Tishby, Alma Hernandez, Rabbi David Saperstein, Elisha Wiesel, Norm Coleman, Jeffrey Myers, victims of antisemitism, and many more. Free buses are available from Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York City.
 
There’s still time for you -- or your friends closer to Washington, D.C. -- to participate by registering at NoFearRally.org. If you can't be there, you can support the event by posting a Facebook or Twitter message of solidarity, such as these:

A summer of Vote Forward letter writing has just launched!
Are you ready to write?

Our section is ready. Go to https://votefwd.org/ncjwca Log in or sign up, but don’t adopt any voters on this screen. Go to View All Active Campaigns and select the Social Campaign 
Starting today, and through the fall, we’ll be writing and stockpiling 1.5 million letters to voters in Virginia in advance of the general elections on November 2. Virginia’s odd-year elections tend to serve as a bellwether for the midterm elections, so boosting turnout is crucial.

The Virginia campaigns will unfold in two waves:
FIRST WAVE: We’ll start with a “vote by mail” letter wave, and stockpile those letters until we mail on Saturday, September 18, right when absentee and early in-person voting begin.
SECOND WAVE: When all of those letters are written, we’ll roll out a wave of “please vote” letters, and stockpile those letters until the Saturday, October 16 mail date.

Launch days are a great time to start writing letters, and there are 1.5 million to write this summer, so why not start today?

As a Vote Forward volunteer, you make campaigns like this one possible, and your letters will no doubt encourage many Virginia voters to cast ballots in 2021. We cannot thank you enough for your contributions to this important work.

P.S. Forever stamp prices are expected to increase by three cents in August, so now is a great time to replenish your stamp inventory.
