PAOV, have you heard the news? On Tuesday, the United Church of Christ voted to divest from companies that profit from Israel's occupation and boycott settlement products -- and everyone is talking about it. The vote has already been covered by the New York Times, Ha'aretz, U.S. News, and several other outlets. The UCC stands strong in their belief that justice must be pursued but they need to know that they have Jewish supporters behind them in case the backlash gets intense. We need to make sure UCC members know they're not alone in this. 6,000 JVP supporters like you have already signed our thank-you card -- will you add your name?

We know the backlash will be fierce, and we can’t afford to be complacent. Our opponents will say that divestment harms interfaith relationships -- but we know that's not true. Supporting each other to align our values and actions is the very heart of what interfaith relationships should be. Let’s make our voices heard, and show that we support this historic decision of our brothers and sisters in the UCC.

Sign our thank you card to the UCC -- thank them for standing for justice.
