Alumni Monthly Fund

As alumni, you understand the impact of Achvat programming the best. Your monthly donation pays the gift of education forward, and opens doors for more people to join in life-changing learning and solidarity building, and grow the movement. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your ongoing support. We are privileged to be part of this movement with you, and we are here to support you along the way.

Interested in getting involved in our Alumni Committee? Stay tuned in January for updates :)

As we witness crisis unfold into crisis, we do not take for granted that you chose to join us, and now continue to support our program. Your donation is more than a financial investment. It means you recognize that in order to build a shared future for all, we need a strong, resilient movement that is committed to its values of justice and equality for all. This is a movement that welcomes and empowers new activists, creative leaders, and critical thinkers. Building this movement cannot happen without radical education.

This is not stuff you can learn in a textbook. This is pushing rocks across a terrace until you start to feel what sumud is on a spiritual level. This is opening up all the difficult conversations our communities avoid, and reclaiming our voices in the process. We provide opportunities to meet with scholars like Sami Shalom and Bashir Bashir, work with groups like Mesarvot or the Mizrahi Black Panthers, and hear detailed lectures by Btselem, Gisha, and more. From Umm Al Fahm to Beer Sheva / Bir Saba, the feedback we hear from participants is "I thought I knew everything there is to know about the occupation but I didn't even know the half of it. I don't think I would've had any other opportunity to hear that perspective, and really understand what it means to live here. That's why this education is so important, because you can't really be an activist without being able to join communities here that are already doing the work, because they're the ones affected and they're the ones that know what they're doing, and they're the ones with the most to lose".

Hearing that only deepens our commitment to making this program possible, because we understand the importance of its vision, and we know that we need each other. Participants take their learning further into organizing, media, art, research, and activist projects, and its our goal to support them.

We are for community, by community, which is why we count on your support. We hope you consider sharing our End Of Year Campaign to your networks or making a donation to help us reach our goal of $35 000. You embody tikkun olam and tikkun adam, and we are so grateful that you understand the precious value of education, and the duty we have to each other to build strong, caring, anti-racist leadership, to facilitate open minded and critical learning environments, to honour and adapt our Jewish traditions, to embody solidarity, and to lead with courage and integrity. Together, we are breaking down the barriers that got us here, but we still have room to grow. Thank you for standing with us.
