As Jews, we continue to feel the pain and impact of the Nazis' genocidal campaign against worldwide Jewry. The horrors of the Holocaust are part of our collective memory and a call to remain vigilant and oppose bigotry wherever we see it. “Never again” must be more than a slogan: It must be a call to action.

Unfortunately, we see far too many echoes of 1930s Germany in today's United States. Former President Donald Trump publicly dined with Nick Fuentes, an avowed Christian nationalist who opposes non-Christians holding government positions, and Kanye West who publicly praises Hitler. Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand by” to violently intervene in the 2020 election. House Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene continue to spread antisemitic conspiracy theories and threaten the lives of their political opponents. The vast majority of House Republicans voted to overturn the 2020 election hours after the violent January  6 insurrection incited by Trump that threatened the peaceful transition of power. 

Today, white supremacy, right-wing extremism, and Christian nationalism have found a home in the Republican Party, posing a direct threat to Jews, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and our democracy. The Jewish Democratic Council of America is sounding the alarm: Jewish Americans are not safe until we all make it clear that white supremacy and bigotry have no place in our politics. 

We stand with all communities facing persecution by these pernicious forces in condemning white supremacy, right-wing extremism, and Christian nationalism.  Sign here to join us in condemning white supremacy in the Republican party.
