Donate to make divestment a reality in Providence.

Help make divestment a reality in Providence.

This November, Providence voters will decide whether to cut an estimated $2.5 million in investments in Israel and other countries committing genocide: the first legally binding divestment vote in U.S. history.

In the coming weeks, JVP-Rhode Island will print and send professional mailers to voters in Providence, to urge them to vote YES on this historic ballot measure.

Mailers are effective — but pricey. Can you donate what you can to support this campaign?

The JVP family of organizations has restructured. But the overall work and missions of the family of organizations will not change. We’re Jews organizing towards Palestinian liberation and Judaism beyond Zionism.

JVP Action is now doing business as Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a 501(c)(4) organization, allowing us to engage in advocacy and some electoral-related work, within the limits that apply to 501(c)(4) organizations. Our 501(c)(3) organization, JVP Leadership and Culture Lab (JVP Lab), continues separately with nonpartisan educational and cultural activities.

The 501(c)(3) organization has been around for nearly 30 years, and its new name and more focused scope of work will best position it to continue pursuing its charitable purpose. The c3 has long been developing effective educational and leadership trainings, and offering religious and cultural work, and this new name is meant to reflect that work more clearly.

A 501(c)(4) organization has an expanded menu of strategies it can use, including work in the formal political arena. This includes engaging around elections (supporting or opposing candidates in a limited way), and focusing on legislative work (supporting or defeating bills). By allowing each organization to focus on its unique structure, the c4 can use expanded advocacy strategies, while the 501(c)(3) continues to engage in education and nonpartisan advocacy in parallel.
