Dear Forward Reader:

Our world changes January 20. How will you respond?

For the next four years, the Forward will hold our elected officials accountable — to the U.S. constitution, to democratic principles, and to the values American Jews cherish — just as we’ve done since 1897.

We’re going to continue publishing real journalism based on facts, not fear.

And we’re going to help American Jews understand what President Trump’s decisions mean for them, every minute of every day, at Forward.com.

Your donations power our reporting. Take a stand. Give today.

Give Now

With appreciation,

Rachel Fishman Feddersen

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
