| Friend — November’s presidential election is going to be one of the most closely watched of our lifetimes.
What issues will become the focus? How does the experience of being Jewish in America shape our understanding? And how will the rising tide of anti-Semitism and xenophobia factor into our priorities as a nation?
The Forward is one of the nation’s leading outlets covering the 2020 election through a Jewish lens. A diversity of voices and independent news are two things that every democracy needs in order to thrive. Will you help make them possible in this crucial election year?
Tonight I’ll be on stage at Sixth & I in Washington, DC to discuss the 2020 election with Michael Barbaro, host of The Daily.
Together we’ll discuss the 2020 political landscape and the three Jewish candidates in the Democratic field. We’ll talk about how issues that many Jews care about are playing out in the race and how we view the campaign as journalists who are also Jewish.
Jewish voices should be part of the 2020 conversation and The Forward makes that possible. Donate today to support our work during election year.
We have bold new horizons to work toward this year. I look forward to reaching them together.
Best,
Jodi Rudoren
