Dear Forward Reader:

If you’re like me, you’ve been experiencing a whirlwind of emotions over last week’s political earthquake: Fear. Anger. Confusion.

Here at the Forward, we’re feeling those feelings too. But we’re also feeling something else: Drive. Purpose. Resolve.

At this critical time, independent journalism matters more than ever. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to make a donation to support the Forward’s mission, this is it.

There’s a lot at stake. This was a presidential campaign season dominated by hateful rhetoric and outright lies. Extremist media outlets spewed forth a barrage of fake news stories based on invented “facts.”

Honest, hard-working journalists were made into villains. Many Jewish reporters — including several on our staff — were the targets of hundreds of offensive, anti-Semitic tweets, emails and phone calls.

But we are undeterred. Fearlessly reporting the truth to our readers has been a Forward hallmark for 120 years, and we’re not going to stop now. In fact, we’ve never been more resolute in our commitment to bring you what you’ve come to expect from us: reliable reporting and intelligent analysis through a Jewish lens.

For the next four years — and always — we’ll be right at your side, doing what we do best: publishing journalism of the highest caliber, based on rigorous research, meticulous editing, and a passion for the truth.

One of the things we’ve learned from this campaign is that we can no longer afford to take independent Jewish journalism for granted. That’s why your support is so important.

Please take a moment now to make your gift to the Forward. And be generous. Your financial help is what enables us to fulfill our critical mission of reporting the truth, day in and day out, to the Jewish world and beyond. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Samuel Norich President, Forward Association

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.

This year, we have stood together in strength and sorrow. Our Forward team has worked around the clock to help you find clarity amid the chaos.

If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.
