Sorry Frank, I should have said up front. I have been receiving posts
from Rabbi Alissa Wise for such a long time, I don't even remember the
organization, until I look.
I've never joined, but I do share some of the information with other folks.

Carl, even though I support their platform, it was a little disappointing to
read through that message and not being sure what organization it was from
until I read the web link.

<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="content" -->Dear Carl,
By the time you read this, we may have even passed our bonus 2,000 member
goal to finish out our spring member drive.
Why? Because:
* *Small numbers really can move power.* We're about 45 members short of
our goal. And if you talk to our Media Coordinator, she'll tell you that
even 10 or 15 letters to the editor can sway the way an opinion piece gets
written. Our Legislative team knows that just a handful of calls from
constituents can affect how a rep votes. And ask any of our chapter leaders
- a few extra hands to help set up for an event can make all the
difference.
* *Membership = political independence.* This drive was never about the
money. But the fact remains: when you pay membership dues of just $18, it
means real ownership over JVP. It means we can say what needs to be said,
and act when crises strike, knowing the resources will be there.
* *People are watching us.* We talk a lot about our opponents - especially
within major Jewish institutions - and the spotlight they have put JVP
under. But what I care more about is what our friends and allies see. And
especially with Israel's government moving ever further to the right, I want
to send as strong a message as possible that we are paying attention, that
we care, and that we are committed to making change possible.
I know we can get to the 2,000 Member threshold by tonight. I bet we can
even get to 2,100 - maybe even higher. And I know for certain that it's
going to take even more of us joining in to reach our actual
goal: freedom, justice, and dignity for all.
Yours,
Rabbi Alissa
Rabbi Alissa Wise
Deputy Director
