Support Jewish Journalism On This Giving Tuesday

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
“Giving Tuesday” was first coined in 2012, by the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at the 92nd Street Y, aiming to connect “diverse groups of individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving.”
Every year, on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday re-directs us from shopping to giving, kicking off the charitable season, when many start thinking about holiday and end-of-year giving.
We at the Forward are proud to be part of this initiative. As a non-profit media organization, we rely on readers’ support to continue doing our independent journalism.
Join us on this global day of giving, fueled by the power of social media, by ensuring that our work — telling the Jewish community’s stories — goes on.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
