Especially today, in the face of immense loss and amid the rising tide of antisemitism, the Jewish light must shine brighter than ever. The world must stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and take a clear, unwavering stand against antisemitism.

Tierra Walker should still be alive.
She asked for help. She asked if she should end her pregnancy to protect her health. Ninety doctors saw her, and not one offered her the lifesaving abortion care she needed.
