“I know that many people think this is the time to shy away from Israel. But I think that if there is ever a time to be a true believer in what we can achieve in this country and how much we can improve it, this is the time.”

Inspired by the battle for democracy in Israel, A Wider Bridge is launching a matching campaign to DOUBLE the $180,000 in Impact Grants that we have already given to Israeli LGTBQ groups this year. These emergency grants will help respond to the community’s current needs, including:
-
Rising rates of harassment and violence
-
Increased community crisis hotline calls
-
Critical crisis intervention and support at protests
-
Increased transphobia and people who become houseless
-
Legal advocacy for LGBTQ protesters
-
Transportation to demonstrations in critical cities as well in the periphery
