It can be so lonely and frustrating being a Zionist and a progressive in this country.

I love everything you do. Showing up as a Zionist in progressive spaces is very important.

As a non-Jewish ally, I am very concerned about antisemitism in progressive spaces. My goal is to be actively anti-racist in all ways.

Being connected with Zioness has given me a sense of community among other progressives who don't want to sacrifice our Jewish identities to stand up for what we believe in.

It wasn’t until last year that I started to feel uncomfortable in some progressive spaces when issues surrounding Israel and antisemitism arose.

Considering I've felt politically homeless for a few years now, being both progressive and a proud Jew, it meant a lot to me to be part of the Zioness team and be able to connect with like-minded people from across the country.
