Impact Collaborations
Integrity First for America
Integrity First for America who successfully sued the neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and hate groups that conspired to cause violence in Charlottesville during Unite the Right. The civil lawsuit secured millions of dollars in damages - and even before trial, resulted in major financial and operational impacts on the defendants and broader movement, while serving as a deterrent to other violent extremists and providing a model for accountability.
The Lawfare Project
The Lawfare Project designed to shine a light on and DETER foreign funding of colleges which promote a political point of view to the detriment of minorities, including Jewish students. Influencers, including those who promote anti-Semitism, will always have the advantage if they have long term, well funded strategies. These must be counteracted, not simply responded to.
Hillel International
Hillel International, along with the American Council on Education (ACE) and American Jewish Committee(AJC) has planned a conference of university presidents and chancellors to focus on the upsurge of anti-Semitism on campuses and what steps are needed to address it. We believe this is a CRITICAL STEP in order for policies to be adopted that will protect the Jewish students. We are providing significant funding for this project.
The Foundation for
Defense of Democracies
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a Washington, DC-based nonpartisan 501(c)(3) research institute focusing on national security and foreign policy. FDD conducts in-depth research, produces accurate and timely analyses, identifies illicit activities, and provides policy options - all with the aim of strengthening U.S. national security and reducing or eliminating threats posed by adversaries and enemies of the United States and other free nations. We are proud to contribute to FDD’s projects related to combatting the nefarious international networks that enable U.S. domestic extremism as well as FDD’s efforts to expose Islamist organizations that promote hatred of the United States, Israel, Christians, and Jews.
Jewish Institute for Liberal Values
A new ideology -sometimes called Critical Social Justice (CSJ), Critical Race Theory (CRT) or “wokeness”-has taken center stage in North American institutions. Without a doubt, this ideology is generating antisemitism. Indeed, we are observing novel manifestations of Jew hatred in numerous mainstream institutions, in policies and in society. We are funding the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values and working with the Reut Group of Israel which has conducted a comprehensive community scan of how these ideologies give rise to antisemitism and empower extremist elements. The Jewish Institute for Liberal Values has launched the New Allies Initiative, which identified and reached out to non-Jewish leaders about the new ideological antisemitism and the threat of CSJ ideology to their communities as well. The target groups and leaders include Asian Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Evangelical Christians and LGBT leaders. With the results of these two initiatives in hand, we will now provide North American Jewish leaders and Israel with specific recommendations of strategies and messaging on how to fight this new, dangerous form of antisemitism. Our next phase of the project, beginning Winter 2022, will scale up the New Allies Initiative and development a comprehensive strategic and messaging framework. It will support the Jewish community in building a new coalition dedicated to strengthening democratic values and opposing extremism emanating from both ends of the political spectrum.
