Jews Against Boris

We are Jews Against Boris and this is why we are organising our community this election:
1. Boris Johnson is embracing nationalism and normalising the far-right in his efforts to keep hold of power. This is a crisis which threatens all of us, and which we must do everything in our power to stop.
2. Our safety can only come about through solidarity. We will only defeat antisemitism when we work hand-in-hand to defeat Islamophobia, xenophobia and all other racism at the same time.
3. Attempts to make antisemitism a partisan issue in this election, using the real fears of British Jews to garner political support, are both cynical and dangerous. We refuse to be pitted against other minorities, as we know that an attack on one is an attack on all.
4. We share our community’s pain around antisemitism in Labour, and recognise that it will take hard work to heal our relationship with the left, but we reject the idea that this healing requires us to turn away from our political values.
5. This is a once-in-a-generation election which will determine the future of our country. It is our last opportunity to prevent a climate catastrophe, stop a disastrous Brexit and avert the erosion of our democracy. Jews simply cannot sit this out.
In order to transform our society into one where everyone is valued and safe, we must unite with all minorities threatened by the direction Boris Johnson is taking our country, and send the message that none of us can be used, threatened, or dismissed.
That is why we will be travelling to Boris Johnson’s seat to campaign for Ali Milani, the young Muslim immigrant standing against him, a candidate who has been on a personal journey to become a staunch ally in the struggle against antisemitism. We are going to be loudly and proudly Jewish as we support him, against the Tory threat and for a progressive British society in which all people can thrive.
Johnson is intensely vulnerable to being unseated at the next election. He holds his London constituency seat by only 5,034 votes - the smallest majority of any PM since 1924. We are determined to organise like never before to upend Johnson’s campaign, but we need money for printing campaign materials, to bus in activists, for venue and equipment hire, and many other things as well.
Please support us in our efforts to pull the UK back from the brink of a dangerous path.
