Read this piece about what’s at stake for Jews, Muslims, and everyone in the U.S. in this Senate race — and Jewish efforts to bridge divides among Jewish voters to build support for @AbdulElSayed in this must-win race:

"The fear of what an El-Sayed candidacy means for Michigan’s Jews was palpable as I followed canvassers with @seed_the_vote , a group that, in partnership with IfNotNow Movement and Bend the Arc @jewishaction, is bringing Jews from the area, as well as from around the country, to Jewish neighborhoods in Oakland County to speak with voters and carefully broach the idea of supporting El-Sayed."
