Add your name to the @BendtheArcS petition calling on Santa Clara County Supervisors to vote against building a new jail in our county.

The proposed $390 million budget would be better spent on mental hearth services. #CareFirstJailsLast https://t.co/EFdNUzGvHV

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

On #Hannukah, South Bay Chapter thanks @SupEllenberg for telling the Board of Supervisors to keep their word on #CareFirstJailsLast. Community pressure led by @svdebug made the Board postpone their vote until Jan. 11. No new jail!

#EidMubarak to our Muslim family!

May you be surrounded by love and warmth. May we see an end to anti-Muslim bigotry and state violence in our lifetimes.

Our Jewish community loves you, we are so grateful for you, and we will always have your backs.

Give @Portantino and the Senate Appropriations Committee a call today to pass the PROMYSE Act. https://t.co/qFoPgFfc98

[Bend the Arc: Jewish Action Bay Area @bendthearc_bay]

@RepCardenas thank you for supporting #sb493.
"We know that intervention and prevention have much better outcomes than the traditional suppression model of law enforcement. That's why I support the #PROMYSEAct."

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

BREATHE ACT FACTS: It will make direct changes to the Federal criminal-legal system, including changes to policing, prosecution, sentencing, and jailing practices; this means eliminating tactics which disproportionately target Black, Brown, and Muslim communities #THEBREATHEACT

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

Ending the #MuslimBan is a huge victory for our communities—but it’s just the first step.@JoeBiden must center Black, brown, Muslim, immigrant demands that lead to true justice for #AllOfUs

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

4 years after the #MuslimBan was signed, immigrant communities tell @JoeBiden + Congress: we’ll hold you accountable to enact policies that provide safety + dignity for #AllOfUs
🗣️ #AbolishICE
🗣️Legalize all 11 million, starting with essential workers!

On the 5th night of Hanukkah, we commit to fighting anti-Muslim bigotry. We'll bring our communities with us in active solidarity with our Muslim siblings "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary." #solidarity

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

On this 1st night of Hanukkah, we commit to solidarity with immigrants & to reverse the harms of the Trump administration. We'll bring our communities with us as we move Biden and Congress to fulfill the promise of an America where the light of justice is never extinguished.

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

A reminder about where our values lie. And that there is still work to be done #KeepFightingTheGoodFight #NoMoreKidsInCages

[Families Belong Together @fams2gether]

1. No child should be denied a life-saving vaccine.
2. No child should die because ICE refused to provide them medical care.
3. No child should be in jail in the first place.

We believe that #NeverAgain applies to everyone. #JusticeJusticeShallYouPursue

[Bend the Arc: Jewish Action @jewishaction]

Never again means never again for everyone.

It is a call to action. It means speaking out against injustice, bigotry, and fascism whenever & wherever we see it.

Not just when Jews are targeted. When any community is under attack.

Never again means never again for everyone.

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

A reminder that there is still work to do. We must continue to fight for all Americans to have good access to voting. #NoMoreDisenfranchisement #LetAllAmericansVote

[Legal Defense Fund @NAACP_LDF]

For Black voters, there is "a perennial battle against old and new ways that their country is trying to strip them of their right to vote. It is a deplorable stain on our democracy that cannot continue." Read @Sifill_LDF's post-election op-ed in @slate. https://t.co/3Pod363bqC

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

The final counts are in and we love to see Democracy in action. #ThePeopleHaveSpoken #ShabbatShalom

[Bend the Arc: Jewish Action @jewishaction]

With every state now called, Biden’s total Electoral College tally is now 306 — the same number Trump got in 2016.

In 2020, Biden has received 78 MILLION votes — more than any president in history and over 5 million more than Trump.

The people have spoken. #OurTimeNow

[BendTheArc_SouthBay @BendthearcS]

Loving the enthusiasm and how fired up all the volunteers across the country are ❤️ Stay tuned for ways you can help with the runoff election in Georgia! But for now #stayhome #trustlocalorganizers

[Bend the Arc: Jewish Action @jewishaction]

“We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, but please do not ― I repeat, do not book plane tickets or gas up your car and make plans to travel to Georgia.”

Georgia organizers know what they’re doing. Let’s support them and follow their lead.

We are so happy that #Prop17 passed! Bend the Arc encouraged CA voters to vote "yes" in our local voting guide, amending the constitution to allow those on parole to vote. Thank you for voting #yeson17 #freethevotes #stopvotersuppression <3

[Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) @AntiRecidivism]

“Through the passage of Proposition 17, I feel I am part of a society that includes me in our democracy. I now feel empowered to civically engage and enact change through continued advocacy efforts."

80 California rabbis are standing with Bend the Arc in opposing #Prop20. Read their inspiring and informative letter, which explores how #Prop20 would rob many of our fellow Americans of their dignity. Great Jewish perspective. #NoOnProp20.
