We call on the Jewish Federations of North America -- the largest organization in the American Jewish community -- to take a public stance against the appointment of Stephen Bannon by the eighth night of Hanukkah.

If they fail to do so, we will be the leaders the Federations refuse to be.

Join the #JewishResistance. Sign up to act with thousands of other American Jews and demand the Jewish Federations of North America choose a side -- the racism, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia of Steve Bannon -- or moral leadership.

On December 14th, the Conference of Presidents refused to cancel their Hanukkah Party at the Trump Hotel, displaying just how out-of-touch they are with the majority of the American Jewish community.

While the Jewish Federations decided to quietly boycott the event, they have been deafeningly silent on the appointment of Stephen Bannon. Their silence groups them with the Conference of Presidents and the rest of the out-of-touch establishment -- and continues to deepen our doubt in their ability to lead our community at this moment of crisis.

The first step to demonstrate leadership right now is to stand up against Bannon.

If we can’t count on you to oppose such public white nationalism now, how can we count on you to oppose any of the violent policies we know are coming from the Trump Administration in the next four years?

We call on the Jewish Federations of North America -- the largest organization in the American Jewish community -- to take a public stance against the appointment of Stephen Bannon by the eighth night of Hanukkah.

If they fail to do so, we invite you -- the American Jewish community -- to join us in massive moral action with thousands of American Jews. We will be the leaders the Federations refuse to be. We will lead the fight for freedom.

On the eve of the 50th year of occupation, American Jews are looking to to our institutions for leadership in the U.S. and in Israel/Palestine. Calling for Firing Bannon is the first step. Seriously working to end the occupation is the next. We’re looking to you for both - if not we’ll be the leaders we’ve been waiting for.
