Help us cover this election season
Hi Friend —
I’m Helen Chernikoff, The Forward’s senior news editor. We want you to know we’re watching the Democratic National Convention closely — every election is important, but the one coming up in November is shaping up to be one of the most crucial contests of our lifetimes. It will come during a pandemic and after massive protests. It will name a historic VP pick in Kamala Harris (also known by her endearing Yiddish nickname, ‘Momala’). In a moment like this, a free and independent press is more important than ever.
That’s why The Forward is focused on integrity, accountability, and supporting democracy. We broke the story of Sen. David Perdue’s anti-Semitic ad targeting his Jewish election opponent, Jon Ossoff, that appeared to have been altered to make Ossoff’s nose bigger. Our article was picked up by The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Post, and others, who all looked to our publication for breaking election news that’s relevant to our community. Our commitment to keeping our readers informed with the news that matters is especially relevant now.
I’m writing because we need your help. Our team is working hard to bring you this reporting and we still have a long way to go until November. Can you contribute today to support our political coverage during this incredibly important election season?
Unlike many other news outlets, The Forward is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We do this to make sure we can remain fiercely independent and protect the integrity of our reporting. It also means that unlike a donation to a campaign, your donation to The Forward is 100% tax deductible.
We’ll keep bringing you the news that matters to American Jews — straight from the virtual convention floor and beyond. Donate today to help make it possible.
Gratefully,
Helen Chernikoff
Senior News Editor
