We are sad to share with you that Pursuing Justice 2020 will no longer take place as an in-person gathering. Instead, we will gather together online.
Pursuing Justice 2020 is the largest national gathering of progressive Jews working for social, racial and economic justice in the U.S. We invite individuals, foundations, organizations, and businesses to learn more about the benefits of sponsorship.
In 2016, more than 600 people came together for Bend the Arc’s first-ever national conference, including Jewish community leaders and professionals, clergy and faith leaders, donors, students, philanthropists, nonprofit and advocacy professionals, elected officials, long-time activists, and people new to political organizing. The event featured more than 90 speakers, including current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Valerie Jarrett, former Rep. Keith Ellison, Bryan Stevenson, and many more. Over three days we catalyzed the power of our progressive Jewish movement, built new relationships, and seeded new ideas. On the last day of the conference we launched “We’ve Seen this Before,” the national Jewish campaign to stop the election of Donald Trump which sparked the #JewishResistance.
Pursuing Justice 2020 acknowledges and thanks our Sponsors and Participating Organizations for their support of the educational content and sessions of the conference.
2020 will be a uniquely important time to show our strength and resilience as a movement. As momentum builds toward the next presidential election and beyond, Pursuing Justice will empower individual activists and remind them that they are not alone. It will unite diverse communities and professionals working in the fight for justice. And it will unite advocates in Washington to advocate for our domestic priorities directly with policymakers.
Demonstrate your support for this movement by becoming a sponsor of Pursuing Justice 2020. We are proud to offer sponsorship at a variety of levels.
