CiviCRM - ALEPH: Alliance For Jewish Renewal

October 7th forever marks one of the most serious terrorist attacks in the Western world.

Israel remains hollowed-out between a relentless tension of grief and the reality of grappling with the wounds of recovery and survival.

The US it witness to an unleashing of antisemitism: violent anti-Israel riots on college campuses, bomb threats, physical attacks, and a fear of harm that requires an armed presence in synagogues.

Please join as we explore how to navigate the new reality of this collective trauma.

Is something weird going on in the Fediverse? Suddenly Babka is the only bookmark I have that works. The rest time out and crash.
I know I see things through a negative filter, and have a bit of paranoia. But I have to ask, how many of us are going to be disappeared into CECOT and the like before he and his ilk get brought down?

It's Tax Day. The stakes are high as Trump and Musk’s DOGE are firing thousands at the IRS, making it easier for the wealthy to cheat on their taxes and robbing us of revenue that could fund child care, education, health care, and more.

Meanwhile, Republican leaders in Congress are putting billionaires first in their budget blueprint by cutting critical basic needs programs like Medicaid and SNAP. And for what?

So they can pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

The more people understand how this hidden machine operates, the better we can unite to stop it. That’s why we’re dedicated to shedding light on its strategies & defending real religious freedom – freedom that protects everyone, not just those with certain religious beliefs.

We cannot allow this network to keep operating in the shadows. Americans United is leading the charge, exposing its tactics and fighting back thanks to supporters like you.

Together, we can continue shining a light on the Shadow Network and ensuring church-state separation remains a shield that protects freedom without favor and equality without exception. Thank you for being part of this fight – in a country divided, we’re Americans United."
