At the Conference on the Jewish Left in February, Dove Kent presented a provocative talk. (View the recording here.) Join Dove and BWC’s Israel Palestine Committee on April 14 from 7:30 to 9:00pm on Zoom for a deep dive on how we go “From Margin to Center, From Opposition to Power”. 

In her talk, Dove asserts that it is time for the Jewish Left to advance a vision for fighting antisemitism in the context of fighting all oppressions, in a multiracial democratic movement. It’s time for the Jewish Left to lead a coalition that replaces the “legacy” Jewish organizations, currently in disarray due to their failed strategy of aligning with the U.S. right and exceptionalizing Jews. Since these organizations no longer speak for the majority of U.S. Jews, the U.S. Jewish Left (the most organized in the world) has an opportunity to build a movement based on Jewish values. 

Join us as BWC Executive Director, Rebecca Zimmerman Hornstein, moderates a Q&A session where Dove will elaborate on the ideas she presented at the Conference as, together, we explore next steps for BWC and like-minded Jewish Left institutions.

Dove Kent has two decades of experience in grassroots organizing, political education, and movement building. She served as the Executive Director of Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, Senior Strategy Officer at Bend the Arc, co-Founder of Tzedek Lab, and currently as the Interim International Executive Director of Diaspora Alliance.
