180,000 Letters to the White House for 180 Days in Turmoil
Next week will mark 180 days of our hostages in captivity. 180 days of blind hate. 180 days of the world abandoning Israel.
We cannot allow another day to pass without standing up for Israel and demanding the release of our hostages. We need YOUR help TODAY to send a strong message to President Biden to support Israel, combat antisemitism, and secure the release of our hostages. To do so, we will collect 180,000 signed letters that will be hand-delivered to the White House on Wednesday, April 3rd – the 180th day since October 7th. The only way this can happen is if everyone who cares about the Jewish People helps today.
