Activism and civic engagement are crucial for ensuring the future of the Jewish community in the United States. At a time when antisemitism and Israel hatred seem to run wild all over the country and beyond, it is more important than ever to come together and make our voices heard. The IAC’s program on civic engagement and fighting antisemitism aims to organize and empower community members of all ages and give them the tools to take an active role in creating a safer environment for the Jewish community and society at large.
FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM
The IAC aims to create a safe space and warm environment for Israeli and Jewish students on campus, allowing them to share special moments and maintain their connection to their heritage. Beyond networking and holiday events, students also participate in activities, such as pro-Israel tabling, year-long activism projects, and initiatives against antisemitism on their campus, with the dedicated guidance of a professional IAC team and student leaders.
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
A safer future starts with an engaged community. That’s why the IAC empowers parents and community members to become local change agents and address antisemitism in public spaces. They participate in rallies and events and receive tangible education and tools to make a real difference in their local community.
ACADEMIC ACTION
The IAC cultivates a vibrant network of Israeli and American faculty and administrators on college campuses across the country. This includes leading educational initiatives and providing legal guidance and support as Jewish and Israeli communities face mounting challenges on campuses, from anti-Israel protests to discrimination and student administration issues. Our academic action works in collaboration with other pro-Israel organizations at the forefront of the fight against antisemitism.
