Subject: what can 45 people do?
To: carjar82@xxxxxxxxx
<!-- 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
