We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
When U.S. Rep. John Lewis addressed American Jewish Committee leadership at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., in 2018, he emphasized that Blacks and Jews have long shared a common cause.
“Our foremothers and forefathers all came to this great land on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat now,” Lewis said. “We must look out for each other and care for each other. And never, ever give up. … until we reclaim the soul of America. If we get it right here in America, maybe this country can emerge as a model for the rest of the world.”
Times of crisis call out for new initiatives. This week, the National Urban League and AJC are partnering to seek meaningful change in American society by declaring the post-Labor Day period Black-Jewish Unity week.
It is an opportune time to rekindle our alliance that spans decades and has brought about landmark actions that benefited our communities, and America’s democratic, pluralistic society.
Black and Jewish members of Congress are endorsing the unity week with a congressional resolution recognizing the joint need to combat antisemitism and racism.
