Reader,

Every year, we celebrate the Forward 50: a look at 50 remarkable Jews whose work inspires us, teaches us, and brings us together. They are storytellers, community healers, singers, organizers, people fighting COVID, and more.

Now, at the halfway point of 2021, we want to acknowledge another group that makes an incredible difference each year: readers who step up and become a new donor. As a reader-supported news organization, we’re grateful to each new person who joins our donor community. Will you take the step and make a donation today?

DONATE NOW

Donor revenue powers the Forward. Because of our donors, we can honor our commitment to fearless journalism. Just this year, we’ve brought on incredible new team members like Editor at Large Robin Washington and News Editor Lauren Markoe. From our powerful news coverage of the recent escalation between Israel and Hamas to our ongoing prioritization of featuring diverse voices and viewpoints, we are working harder than ever to bring you the independent Jewish journalism you believe in.

As we head into the second half of 2021, we’re asking you to join our community of supporters and make a gift to support the Forward.

When you give to the Forward, you’ll see your gift in action with every headline, from our in-depth coverage of the New York City mayoral race to the latest in Jewish arts and culture to the investigative reporting you rely on. We know you care about this work. We want you to be part of it.

In gratitude,
