  1. Take The Jewish Pledge to Affirm the Dignity of Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex People
    As a member of the Jewish community, do you pledge to uphold the dignity, safety, and humanity of all trans, nonbinary, and intersex people? Rooted in the Jewish values of justice (tzedek) and dignity (kavod), please take the pledge and commit to taking meaningful action to affirm that trans Jews belong here.
  2. Write Postcards to Your Legislators
    Celebrate the high holidays by incorporating advocacy into your gatherings by writing postcards to your legislators. Whether at home or at your congregation, Keshet has all the tools you need.
  3. Bring Keshet Resources to Your High Holidays
    The Days of Awe can be a time of reflection and teshuva (returning) to our core values. This season, make reconnecting with the fight for LGBTQ+ rights a part of your community’s High Holidays by providing Keshet’s resources. We recommend learning specifically what your Jewish community can do to protect LGBTQ+ youth and sharing ways to talk about anti-trans legislation from a Jewish lens. Keshet’s full resource library can be found here.
  4. Tell Your Elected Officials That LGBTQ+ Rights are Nonnegotiable!
    Join Keshet in urging those who hold elected office and represent us to uphold their duty to all constituents, reject all discriminatory policies, and not stand idly by while transgender people are attacked simply for who they are. Call and email your legislators here.
  5. Give to Keshet
