<p>Dear Robert,</p>
<p>There’s a huge fight growing over Steve Bannon, the president-elect’s appointed Chief Strategist.</p>
<p><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8ofsD8KCUGHNIq%2BhPKX1WjHN4YaAK90P" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(234,104,71)"><u><b>And we need your help to escalate it. Will you make a $36 donation today to help us #StopBannon?</b></u></span></a></p>
<p>It’ll be Bannon’s job to be Trump’s ideologue-in-chief. And here’s his ideology: Racism. Sexism. Xenophobia. Antisemitism. Islamophobia. <b>This is one of the first big fights for the progressive movement in the Trump era, so we are throwing down.</b></p>
<p>And we have a unique role to play: we can force Jewish institutions to speak out against Bannon. Last night, our NYC chapter helped lead a massive protest against a Zionist Organization of America dinner hosting Bannon, and we’ve got many more actions on the way. We want to get ads in Jewish publications immediately.</p>
<p><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=lo7P8gLt%2FeHyc%2BXZ3kysWzHN4YaAK90P" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(234,104,71)"><u><b>We need to raise $15,000 to fund this new wave of communications and action planning. Please give now.</b></u></span></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=35LKplA9NN6jEMua%2F21GPzHN4YaAK90P" target="_blank"><img src="https://org.salsalabs.com/o/301/images/StopBannon600.gif" alt=""></a></p>
<p>We’ve got almost 35,000 signatures on an open letter signed by nearly 100 leading organizations -- Jewish and social justice organizations big and small representing hundreds of thousands of members.</p>
<p>Your $36 won’t go to something next year, but next week -- or even in the next 24 hours. We’re hard at work planning rapid-response digital ads for social media that we can put to use <u>starting tomorrow</u>. And there are ads and posters and trainings and actions for the months ahead that we want to be able to commit to <u>today</u>. That’s our plan to put more pressure on moveable Jewish institutions to stand up and help #StopBannon.</p>
<p>There’s a particular political trait that it’s on us to understand and expose. After all, why would the ZOA award someone known for their antisemitic streak?</p>
<p><b>Because Steve Bannon is both antisemitic <u>and</u> ultra-Zionist.</b></p>
<p>And this means two big things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Jewish institutions who stay silent are giving Bannon cover, and revealing their true priorities. Their political muscles, it turns out, are built for defending Israeli policies, not protecting freedom and justice. The pressure we’re building has a real chance of pushing back on both Trump AND the pro-Occupation leadership of many Jewish institutions.</li>
<li>The #StopBannon fight is a first attempt to see how much the progressive movement can reign in the Trump administration’s worst potential. Winning this first skirmish won’t make plans for a Muslim registry or mass deportations go away. But it will give us one more advantage as we fight -- and signal to Bannon’s white nationalist crowd (and ourselves!) that we’re capable of winning against Trump and his far-right friends.</li>
</ol>

<p>Groups like the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, dozens of local Jewish federations and councils nationwide, and so many others so-called “leaders” have been totally silent on Bannon. We don’t need Jewish organizations built to defend Israeli apartheid at all costs -- we need Jewish organizations ready to fight for dignity and equality, from the US to Israel/Palestine.</p>
<p>And that’s what we’re doing. We’re showing up as the kind of Jewish organization that’s ready and able to fightback against all that Trump promises. It’s no coincidence that that’s the same kind of Jewish organization that is ready and able to help win the Palestinian-led struggle for liberation, justice, and equality.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, our chapter in Chicago is taking our message to the local Jewish federations and demanding accountability. We need resources to mobilize a dozen more. We need to get eye-catching ads into Jewish publications this week. We need to create resources to spread the fight among the 100+ organizations who have signed on to help us #StopBannon.</p>
