Hillside Artist’s Jewish Street Art Festival Inspires Communities to ‘#ShareYourLight’ By Jewish Link Staff | December 16, 2020
On the heels of the first-ever Jewish Street Art Festival in 2019 in Jerusalem, leading Jewish street artists from around North America brought public art to their communities for Chanukah 2020. The 2020 Jewish Street Art Festival (jewishstreetart.com) was reimagined as a decentralized art event in which nine Jewish artists each created a public art piece in their own city. Each artist or artist team painted a Chanukah menorah, linking the eight participating cities through art. Participating cities included New York City; Washington, DC; Charlotte; Atlanta; Toronto; Chicago; Los Angeles; and Detroit.
suggest there s a higher ceiling here should he choose to pursue it. this is what we re seeing from the biden campaign. they are not doing a lot of traditional grassroots events. he is out there trying to stockpile cash for a very long primary race.yeah, and that poiu make about primary dollars is important because he s still able to tap them. dave, you ve got your finger on the pulse here. there are two candidates, warren and sanders, warren sent out a fundraising email saying, quote, grassroots donors are the only people who make this campaign possible. the sanders campaign says, quote, joe biden is attending a big fundraising event in new york city. i remember listening to radio ads that bernie sanders was putting on in new hampshire during the last go-around about this very issue. this has become something of a litmus test for the left. it has. it s also a general election argument. there s a sense out there backed up from a lot of polling from
bernie sanders team, taking something of a swipe at joe bid biden, saying, it s going to be hard to catch up with joe biden s fund-raising, he s raising huge sums of money at large fund-raising events all across the country. and these are not grassroots fund-raising efforts. interesting. very interesting, apparently on the heels of reports that senator sanders is now going to allow larger donors to come to what they call grassroots events, but they re going to be live streamed and if they want to give donations, that s okay and they ll get face time. it s kind of an interesting way to split hairs around fund-raising dollars and it show house hard it s going to be, particularly in this second round of fund-raising, most people, they tapped their list at least one, trying to raise from the same donors and convince people, they re the ones that cannot only beat trump, but beat biden zp. and the obvious argument from the very beginning is that bernie sanders and his supporters are say
women in the big question is will they go to the polls? that s a $64,000 question. midterms, you always see a drop off in voters and the question is the enthusiasm democrats have displayed over the past 21 months, grassroots events, does that carry over to election day? if the numbers mike talked about are correct and that gap translates into presidential level turnout among women of color, among young women, among suburban women, it will be to the democrats advantage but what you just asked is because donald trump and the political phenomenon that is donald trump help redefine what midterm electorates look like? harris: it s interesting, we saw majority leader mitch mcconnell to something some republicans have been critical of them not doing, recognizing that maybe they ought to talk about obamacare and what they re going to do for health care, something all women care about.
wants to get out on the trail and potentially help some people. jessica: i have always maintained this i think hillary clinton can be us useful in the right setting. leadership unpopular on both sides you can t send mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer. harris: nancy pelosi. jessica: send hillary clinton out in new york or chicago. harris: you are not talking like the areas like the rust belt. jessica: no. joe biden can go there. it doesn t make sense. trish: go to l.a. go to melissa friend s party. no politician today that has a universal appeal on either side. i would implore you to tell me what republican can do it all and can be in los angeles. pete: donald trump is about the closest ones. go to grassroots events across the country. jessica: how is he going to do it with the evidentist party. harris: not inviting him to that party.
