How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Anti-Antisemitism Advocacy with Political Integrity
    methodology: anti-antisemitism advocacy
    By combating antisemitism while resisting its manipulation for right-wing or nationalist agendas, we advance democratic and just societies because this prevents securitization from undermining civil liberties and co-opting anti-racism for exclusionary politics.
  • Free Speech Protection in Antisemitism Discourse
    methodology: free-speech-protection
    By opposing the IHRA definition, we protect free speech and prevent the conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism, thereby safeguarding Palestinian rights and ensuring that authentic anti-antisemitism efforts are not co-opted by political agendas.
  • Intersectional Justice Framework
    methodology: intersectional-justice
    By linking the fight against antisemitism to broader struggles against racism, xenophobia, and economic inequality, we produce more effective and inclusive outcomes because this approach prevents the isolation of antisemitism from systemic oppression and centers solidarity across marginalized communities.
  • Solidarity-Based Internationalism
    methodology: solidarity-based internationalism
    By building political solidarity among Jews and other diasporic and minoritized communities, we counter division and fear-based narratives because shared struggle across identities strengthens collective resistance to oppression.
