Welcome at 3:30 PM PT | Program at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET
Hosted in San Francisco with Livestream Broadcast Nationally

We are looking forward to coming back together as a community this spring for the Guardian of Democracy.

With immense gratitude to the many supporters who stepped up to help NIF following October 7, this event is an opportunity to hear how we are moving from emergency response to working for the day after.

When we gather on Sunday, April 14, we’ll be standing in solidarity with the activists on the ground in Israel who are working toward a shared future of peace, democracy, and safety for all.

All contributions will support NIF’s extensive work advancing Jewish-Arab partnership, safeguarding civil and human rights, and promoting peace, justice and equality.

We look forward to sharing this experience with you.

For questions and more information, please contact us.
