Happening today at 4 PM EST!

Political change doesn’t happen through policy advocacy alone. Before laws shift, stories need to shift. Join NJN for a webinar on narrative change, featuring Mik Moore and Libby Lenkinski, moderated by Hadar Susskind, this Tuesday, April 7, at 4 PM EST. newjewishnarrative.org/narrativeswebinar

From Peace Now: Settlers near Silwad attacked an elderly couple, their son, and his pregnant wife. They stole their car keys, ID cards, and phones. The elderly man is currently hospitalized in Ramallah. There is no excuse for this violence.

Yesterday, NJN staff and supporters joined #NoKings protests across the country. Grateful, inspired, and proud to be part of this movement.

A great crowd in DC for #NoKings!

"I grew up just outside Atlanta, Georgia. I know my Civil Rights history." NJN's Maxxe Albert-Deitch at #NoKings in Washington, DC.

HAPPENING NOW: Masses of Americans are taking to the streets to stand up for our freedoms. NJN folks are joining in as proudly progressive, proudly Jewish voices. #NoKings #Monarchy_is_an_old_narrative ❌👑

NJN is getting ready for #NoKings tomorrow! Hear from Hadar Susskind, our president and CEO, about why he's showing up.

If you struggle to understand legislation surrounding the war with Iran, check out the analysis by NJN's Director of Government Relations, Madeleine Cereghino, on what certain members of Congress are doing to oppose the war. www.newjewishnarrative.org/commentary/h...

Today marks 47 years since Sadat and Begin signed the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. While Israel's current leaders talk about settlements, land grabs, or "conflict management," this treaty proves that peace agreements are the only lasting means to ensure Israel's security.

"I stand behind IDF soldiers in every situation. Even if the collateral damage includes children or women, it doesn't matter to me." MK Yitzhak Kroizer www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Peace Now reports on the eviction of 15 Palestinian families from their homes in Silwan, saying, "Settlers, with the help of the government and a discriminatory legal system, are expelling an entire Palestinian community and replacing it." peacenow.org.il/en/eviction-batan-al-hawa-250326

Join NJN and Sixth & I for a convo with Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli Maoz Inon, peace activists whose new book explores how compassion can pull humanity back from the precipice of blind hatred. Get an in-person or virtual ticket: www.sixthandi.org/event/sarahandinon

The uptick in settler violence in the West Bank is not random. It is a product of a "decades-long, state-sanctioned, funded, and militarized occupation." Important piece from @esthersperber.bsky.social of @smolemunius.bsky.social blogs.timesofisrael.com/settler-viol...

Check out this week's commentary by Becca Strober for an analysis of growing settler violence in the West Bank and the role of protective presence in fighting the occupation. https://www.newjewishnarrative.org/commentary/this-is-the-worst-wave-of-settler-violence-yet-stopping-it-will-take-all-of-us

Hell no. Try this instead. Israel must abandon outdated "greater Israel" ideology, evacuate settlements, support the establishment of a Palestinian state and prosecute violent settlers. That way we can move towards a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Eid Mubarak from NJN! We hope all who celebrate have a joyful, peaceful Eid.

The SAVE America Act is an attack on the right to vote. It is a top priority for President Trump. Now the Republican Senate leadership is keeping Senators in Washington over the weekend to try to push it through. TAKE ACTION: www.newjewishnarrative.org/saveamericaact

NJN is getting ready for No Kings on March 28! If you agree that monarchy is an old narrative, be there with us. Check out our website for printable protest posters. www.newjewishnarrative.org/take-action/no-kings-3

Passover is around the corner, and while NJN can’t help you clean your house of chametz, we can help you have conversations that matter at the Seder table. Visit our website for a printer-friendly copy of our Haggaddah insert: www.newjewishnarrative.org/fifthcup

Humanitarian aid to Gaza has plummeted since the US and Israel waged war with Iran. Food prices have skyrocketed, and there is a growing shortage of medical supplies. Don't let the war with Iran provide cover for the humanitarian abuses in the strip. https://tinyurl.com/5n872ye4

The SAVE America Act is an attack on the very core of American democracy – the right to vote. Despite being framed as a simple “voter ID” measure, it is not about election security. It is about restricting access to the ballot. https://tinyurl.com/saveamericaact

Settler violence must be stopped. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/extremist-settlers-planning-protest-in-west-bank-this-evening-against-outpost-demolitions/

An undercover Border Police unit shot and killed two Palestinian children and their parents in Tammun. We can't turn away from the escalating anti-Palestinian violence in the West Bank. Ali Bani Odeh, Waad, Othman, and Muhammad should be alive today. https://tinyurl.com/4wuxj2zm

While other Israelis are coping with missile attacks raining on Israeli cities, settlers -- supported by IDF soldiers -- are attacking Palestinian villagers. This has to stop! Powerful reporting by from Haaretz's Matan Golan: www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...

This is terrifying. We are holding our breath and hoping for the best. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cq6q8dgvp8zt

"When the Israeli government diverts its own resources to expand settlements, facilitate settler violence, and entrench occupation, it inevitably turns to US taxpayers to help cover the costs of war." Read our full statement: tinyurl.com/3k9ht9xk

TOMORROW: Join us in New Jersey for a conversation with Ittay Flescher about his new book, which challenges us to imagine and build a future where Israelis, Palestinians, and everyone are safe and free. It's not too late to register! forms.newjewishnarrative.org/forms/the-holy-and-the-broken

Things are bad in Lebanon right now. It needs to stop before it gets worse. Since the war began, hundreds in Lebanon have been killed—including children. 700,000+ fled. In northern Israel, people are in shelters due to missile, rocket and drone attacks. https://tinyurl.com/432h7x2e

We stand for democracy. We reject violence and authoritarianism. That's why NJN will be at No Kings 3.0. There will be protests across the country. Find one near you: nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=njn #NoKings ❌👑

NJN's Hadar Susskind has a response: "Speaker Johnson doesn't seem to understand how serious this is. It is not about their 'tone' or their 'message.' It is about the safety of our fellow Americans, who are Muslim. Right now, America needs leaders willing to reject bigotry without equivocation."

For Hebrew speakers: Check out this Peace Now webinar on Thursday on what the settlers are doing under cover of war. 🔗 forms.gle/eHEQZzsTMDQh...

Aziz and Maoz know why peace matters. They are a Palestinian and an Israeli who have experienced unimaginable personal losses. Their new book shows what it takes to end violence and build a better future.

What's happening in Iran, Israel, and Gaza is (rightly) getting a lot of press. But please don't ignore what's going on in Lebanon. Per @haaretzcom.bsky.social 217 people have been killed and 798 wounded this week. A Hezbollah attack injured 8 Israeli soldiers. More tragedy all around.

NEW OPED IN THE HILL: "By accelerating annexation, Netanyahu is returning to the same political playbook that he has relied on for his entire career." https://thehill.com/opinion/international/5767351-trump-netanyahu-west-bank-annexation/

Today, NJN hosted a briefing on the escalating situations in Gaza and the West Bank. The briefing featured Tania Hary of Gisha, Lior Amihai of Peace Now, Amy Cohen of Ir Amim, and Eitan Rom of Breaking the Silence.

Happening now: NJN is hosting a briefing on Capitol Hill (Cannon 240) featuring Israeli human rights leaders speaking about urgent political and humanitarian developments in the West Bank and Gaza.

Congress is voting on a series of War Powers resolutions that can constrain President Trump from continuing his war against Iran. Tell your Members of Congress to support these resolutions and urge them to reject any additional funding for this war. newjewishnarrative.org/warpowers

We're proud to be speaking today at @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social's panel about how we're mobilizing our communities to protect democracy. Thank you to A More Perfect Union, @bendthearc.bsky.social, and @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social for chatting with us today!

On Purim, we boo tyrants. This year, we boo their war too.
