Take Action to #ShutDownJNF
Direct actions to confront or shut down the JNF Annual Conference have a long tradition, but in the context of the genocide currently being inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, this year it is more important than ever to mobilize against this prominent face of the Zionist machine.
The Colorado Palestine Coalition and our allies urge everyone in the “United States” to join the call for a national mobilization to Denver on November 30th through December 3rd to shut down the JNF’s 2023 national conference.
Here are things you can do right now to help before this weekend!
Get organized! Join an organization either on the local, national or international level and keep the movement for Palestinian liberation going strong!
Follow and share Colorado Palestine Coalition’s posts on Instagram and Twitter
Create your own social media content to expose the JNF’s insidious greenwashing campaigns and raise awareness of their immoral, criminal support for Palestinian dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid. Be sure to use the hashtag #ShutDownJNF!
What is the Jewish National Fund (JNF)?
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is a Zionist organization with a 120+ year history of dispossession & theft of Palestinian lands, ethnic cleansing, and entrenching Israeli apartheid. It is the largest private landowner in the “state” of Israel, and the state of Israel has made the JNF one of the most powerful institutions in the regime over land within the state. The JNF’s charter stipulates that any land the organization acquires may only be sold, mortgaged, or leased to Jewish people or Jewish organizations. The JNF wasinstrumental in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in the 1948 Nakba, and continues to play a central role in maintaining Israel's regime of apartheid and continued dispossession and displacement of Palestinians.
The JNF maintains a positive, greenwashed reputation within the Jewish community, both in Israel and abroad. With this reputation, and armed with charitable status that provides tax deductions to its patrons, the JNF continues to collect donations from the wealthy Jewish community in the U.S. and abroad. Coupled with its privileged status within Israel’s regime over land, this has made the JNF one of the most powerful tools of the Zionist movement in legally hindering the Palestinians’ access to rights associated with use and ownership of land.
What is the Global Conference for Israel?
On November 30th 2023, some of the most notorious colonizers of Palestine will gather in Denver, Colorado to attend the JNF’s 2023 international conference.The JNF’s annual conference brings high-profile Zionists together to organize, fundraise, and ensure continued U.S. support for Zionism and for Israel.
As Israel continues its genocidal campaign against Palestinians in their homeland, it is imperative that we organize to Shut Down the JNF 2023 Global Conference for Israel!
In order to ensure everyone can attend the full weekend of programming to Shut Down the JNF, we have rescheduled the central Denver social to December 7th! Hope to see you there!
