“Suffrage is the pivotal right”
-Susan B. Anthony
Shalom Friends,
We are just days away from the upcoming election amidst a challenging election season. We cannot stress enough the importance of voting, and having your voice heard in our democratic process.
Don’t be discouraged or dissuaded by the chatter. Ignore the polls. We must all cast our votes, as it is the only way to ensure democracy.
The JCRC will be here; we are working hard to ground the emotional energy, and to help the Jewish community navigate this highly-charged election season and extremely polarized time.
We are in contact with different faith and ethnic community organizations across the Valley, as well as civic organizations who uphold the democratic process. We remain in close contact with area law enforcement and security partners as well.
Together, we and our friends and allies will protect democracy in Arizona, and across our country.
Rest assured we will speak out to affirm our democratic process, and will never hesitate to condemn those who do not respect our civic norms and values.
Sincerely,
Paul Rockower, Executive Director
Amanda Garcia, Associate Director
Alan Zeichick, Board Chair
The Board of Directors of the Jewish Community Relations Council
