What we do

Students lead on campus. ICC stands behind them.

ICC is the infrastructure behind pro-Israel students on college campuses: a professional staff and a coalition of more than 40 pro-Israel organizations.

ICC is a convener and an operator. It brings the national pro-Israel campus organizations together for a coordinated response to BDS campaigns and anti-Israel incidents. Its own staff also do the work, on campus and online, giving students the resources and strategy to lead their own initiatives.

Many campus challenges are political: student government votes, campus referendums and organized campaigns. So ICC moves with the speed and discipline of a campaign. Its team comes from political, policy and communications work, and students can reach it at any hour. Its research, field and digital work run as one operation.

ICC counters anti-Israel campaigns before they spread.

A campaign that starts on one campus usually heads for the next. ICC spots it early and alerts students on the next campus, so they can prepare before it arrives.

Research is the backbone of the operation. ICC studies anti-Israel campaigns and the arguments behind them, and shares what it learns with its coalition partners. Its national polling tests which messages about Israel persuade, and students and partner organizations get that tested language.

ICC’s standard: every known anti-Israel campaign, campus referendum and incident gets a response, on every campus. ICC aims to respond within hours, not months. No pro-Israel student should face an incident alone.

Staff on campus. Strategy for students’ own campaigns.

ICC’s Regional Directors work on campuses year-round. They build relationships with student leaders, campus groups and university decision-makers.

ICC backs students who run for student government and other leadership roles, and trains them to build coalitions across campus. When students launch a campaign of their own, ICC helps plan it and brings partner organizations behind it. Microgrants pay for the events students plan.

Students’ words, in front of the country.

Students in the Student Press Pool publish op-eds and go on air in their own names. ICC’s staff place their stories in national and regional outlets, and ICC’s own channels carry them far beyond campus.

The conversation online is the conversation on campus, so ICC works in both. Its creative team makes graphics, video and petitions for students and partners to use. ICC also runs digital ads at campuses facing anti-Israel campaigns. When ICC identifies coordinated misinformation about Israel online, it works to publicly document and correct it.

Programs

Three ways to get involved.

The Summit does not just inform students. It changes how they lead when they go back to campus.

Jacob BaimeChief Executive Officer

Support for Israel cannot belong to one party.

ICC shows up where the next generation of leaders in both parties is formed, so that the leaders of the next decade champion the U.S.-Israel relationship. On campus, ICC backs pro-Israel students whatever their politics. Our national summit has welcomed leaders from both parties.
