TAKE ACTION FOR ISRAEL
The time is now to engage with Israel, take action, and stand up for Israel.
The anti-Israel activity on campuses today unfairly targets Israel and its supporters, and often isolates and ostracizes Jewish students.
Please support campus community members you are involved with — students, professors, alumni, staff members and parents — to act against intimidation and incivility by calling on universities via letters and petitions to restore civility on campus.
#MomToo
The #MomToo project was created to give the brave mothers of the victims and those still being held in captivity a platform to share their stories. In each video, a different mother shares the horrors her family faced and the excruciating pain she has experienced every minute since.
WE INVITE YOU TO SHARE THESE MOMS’ STORIES WITH FIVE OTHER MOMS.
Together, we will do all we can to be sure no mother ever feels alone in this way again.

VisitSomething we can all agree on
"We can each “be a witness” and together call out this unacceptable horror and unimaginable suffering. We must denounce these rapes in every conversation, at every rally, and on signs held on every street corner. We must forget our conflicting politics and remember our common humanity." - Sheryl Sandberg
