With your help, we won't be silent.

Dear Friend,

In these chaotic times, as we face a resurgence of anti-Semitism in America, our work is more important than ever. The recent attacks on the Pittsburgh Jewish community are meant to intimidate us. To make us afraid. To keep us silent.

But with your help, we won't be silent. On the contrary, our newsroom sprang to action to cover the tragedy in Pittsburgh by sending reporters immediately following the shooting. We gathered to say Kaddish to honor the 11 victims, we paused the Forward.com pay meter to allow readers open access to our Pittsburgh coverage, and we continued to report this story from the ground.

For every story that matters to our community, the Forward will stick to what we do best. Speak out against anti-Semitism and bigotry. Report the truth. Publish voices that aren't heard elsewhere. And we'll do it with integrity, adhering to the highest standards of journalism — just as we've done for the last 121 years. Won't you support our work?

As America's leading reader-supported, Jewish publication, the Forward’s survival depends on your support. Please give to the Forward today.

Now is the perfect time to make your gift because your donation will be matched 3:1 by NewsMatch* and generous Forward board members.

With Gratitude,

Rachel Fishman Feddersen
