Join Jewish Currents, Diaspora Alliance, Jews For Racial & Economic Justice, and legendary organizer and theorist Marshall Ganz for an intimate evening of frank discussion on where left-wing Jewish organizing efforts might go from here.

More info: For Americans of conscience, this is a sobering moment. Last month, the country elected an authoritarian ethnonationalist for a second time, just four years after he attempted to incite a coup. In Gaza, American-made bombs continue to fall on hospitals and apartment buildings in a campaign of destruction that many experts in international law have deemed a genocide. Among left-wing Jews informed by a history of persecution and extermination, these parallel crises have led to many dark nights of the soul.

For organizers and activists, these events also represent a particular challenge. While many Jewish organizing efforts have swelled in number since Trump’s first election, our inability to stop these disasters reflects the limits of our organizing and our power. What can we learn from our work over that period? What mistakes should be interrogated? What successes can be built upon? And what assumptions must be examined?
