As we tell our people’s story of oppression and liberation this Passover, politicians are advancing anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ policies.

The basic rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ children, adults, and families are at risk – whether they can safely attend school, access health care, play sports, use a bathroom, and live their daily lives. 

As Jews, we know what it feels to be treated as outsiders.

When we retell our ancient story of being enslaved by Pharaoh, we call on ourselves and our communities to act for a world where we honor what is holy and unique in every person and treat others as we would like to be treated.

In this Passover season of our liberation, let us all speak out for LGBTQ+ equality as Jews.

1. Join the Jewish Pledge for Trans Dignity.

This Passover and through 2025, Keshet is mobilizing the Jewish community in support of Trans Dignity. Join Jews across the United States in affirming the dignity, safety, and humanity of all trans, nonbinary, and intersex people.

 2. Contact your legislators and demand they stand up for the LGBTQ+ community!

Use this Phone2Action form to urge congress to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights!

 3. Bring Keshet’s Community Mobilization team to your community!

We will customize an online or in-person program for your community about LGBTQ+ rights in your state and how you can make change. Email us at [email protected].

4. Keep learning.

Right-wing politicians exploit many people’s lack of familiarity with the LGBTQ+ community, especially around gender. Read recent press and stay informed. Start with these three pieces by Keshet staff, “How Your Community Can Be a Safe Have for Trans People,”  and “Towards a Trans-Inclusive Feminism in Our Jewish Communities,” and “Trans Youth and Athletes Belong in Sports.”
