Resisting Project Esther

On July 10th, join us for a teach-in, Resisting Project Esther, hosted by IfNotNow Chicago, a local chapter of a movement of American Jews resisting Israel’s system of apartheid and occupation and demanding equality, justice, and a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis.

The U.S. government has made no secret of its intention to crush political opposition and silence anti-militarist voices. One of the most sinister examples is the Heritage Foundation’s “Project Esther.” Written by the same authors as the infamous “Project 2025,” it’s a comprehensive plan to suppress rights and destroy civil society, starting with the Palestinian human rights movement – all under the guise of fighting antisemitism. 

In reality, Project Esther weaponizes antisemitism to put Palestinians, Jews, and all of society in danger by trying to take the U.S. back to some of the darkest periods of its history. Join us on July 10th to learn how our movements can defend against Project Esther, and prepare to fight for our shared safety — together.
