This Tisha b'Av thought leaders from Bend the Arc share a vision of safety on July 29, 8pm EDT.

With the backdrop of a global pandemic and uprisings sparked by police violence, we invite Jews and allies to join us for a national call to mourn the overwhelming violence against Black people in our country and discuss the transformational organizing of defunding the police, reinvesting in community, and reimagining safety. Will you join us?
