While canvassing we've found many students don't know they're eligible to register here. So here's a PSA we should all share with students we know:
1) If your home is NJ or VA, sure, vote there this year!
2) Otherwise, register here for 2025 and you can register back in your home state for 2026.

David Adler, on Yom Kippur from the Global Sumud Flotilla, before he was detained by Israel:
From the #gazaflotilla, David Adler writes that “we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls on us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.”
From the Gaza Flotilla: “I’m Here Because My Jewish Heritage Demands It”
I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement and move toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

Prior authorizations sound "rational" but are a bureaucratic mess.
They create frustration that reduces even care we all agree is appropriate.
And avoidance, delays, and interruptions of needed care is harmful and deadly.

States are unlikely to fully neutralize the Medicaid cuts — but they have tools to scuttle the Trump administration's efforts.

Not just young people!
I spoke with a few dozen of my Jewish neighbors in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who opposed Cuomo and supported Mamdani.
Some were moral clarity voters, others wanted a Democratic party that was fresh and energetic. Either way, it was great to see!
