JDCA’s Passover companion shares ways you can spark discussion at your Seder table about what we can do to fight against modern authoritarianism and defend our freedom. God sent 10 plagues to Egypt to free the Israelites, and we are calling on you to take 10 actions to combat Trump’s tyranny.

"We understand the instinct to tune out. This last election was crushing, and every day brings an onslaught of offenses from this White House. Chasing each and every word and action of this president can be exhausting, so instead, focus on whether members of Congress acquiesce to or push back against his demands..."

From JDCA:
When something horrific like this occurs, we share a sense of grief and find comfort in community, lifting our voices together. Silence isn’t an option, and there is strength in numbers. Our collective action is stronger than speaking out alone. This is why, at JDCA, we've created a community that fights for our values and stands with Israel.

At home, we are facing daily attacks on our democracy from this White House. Silence in the face of these threats is complicity, and speaking out is an act of defiance.

As The Contrarian co-founder Jen Rubin told JDCA members this week, “courage is contagious,” and we urge you all to join us in writing to your members of Congress, imploring them to assert their constitutional authority. Jen also advised us to document what’s happening each week, as we’re doing with these weekly emails.

"While the velocity of Trump’s wrecking ball may feel surprising, his steps are clearly outlined in Project 2025, which Democrats warned about in the election to no avail. What may have seemed too abstract in November is now becoming a reality. The dismantling of key government agencies, including the Department of Education, massive tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, and gutting of social services and essential programs that Americans rely on – including Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act – are all coming soon."

Donald Trump is a threat to our community, our security, our democracy, and our values, and we will not be silenced by someone who pledges to be a "dictator on day one." We’ll fight Trump’s attempts to roll back our rights, erode our democracy, and threaten our national security. We’ll lay the groundwork for success in the 2025 Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial elections and the 2026 midterms. As the political home and voice of Jewish voters, we’ll continue to fight for our democracy, our rights, and our values.
