The March for Racial Justice is planning on making up for its Yom Kippur flop by holding a sister march on October 1, the day after the Jewish holiday, in various cities around the country. Fellow Zionists, mark your calendars. Show. The. Hell. Up.
You may think this isn’t about you — but you’re wrong. Our peoples were once inseparable. We sat on each other’s boards, (ZOA-NAACP) we helped build schools together (Rosenwald-Booker T), we are connected because we are people of soul, we know what it’s like to struggle but more importantly we know what it’s like to overcome. Our ancestors fought together, prayed together, died together and marched together.
It’s time for us to be the generation that marches together again.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
