ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Founded in 2015, Act.IL is a joint venture of the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) of Herzliya and the Israeli-American Council (IAC). It works to create an online community that will promote a positive public opinion towards the state of Israel.  Through social media platforms, it works to counter the growing trend of the boycott movement and the delegitimization of the state of Israel. 

GRANT PURPOSE

The Los Angeles Media Room mobilizes, trains, empowers, and engages hundreds of teens and young adults in the LA Jewish community to effectively advocate for Israel across social media platforms.
