Anti-American and anti-Israel groups are conducting a concerted drive to win the hearts and minds of university students across the United States, with the Divest from Israel campaign as their centerpiece. The challenge is compounded by imbalanced media coverage of the ongoing violence against Israel and a “blame America and Israel first” mindset. Committed supporters of Israel -- Jewish and non-Jewish alike – are often hard pressed to respond effectively. Less committed and less knowledgeable students are at best confused and at worst convinced by the hostile rhetoric and terror apologia.

Meeting the Challenge
Caravan for Democracy was launched in March 2002 to empower Jewish students and galvanize pro-Israel activism at universities across the nation. A joint Jewish National Fund, Media Watch International, Hamagshimim initiative, Caravan for Democracy has seen tremendous success countering the onslaught and fostering proactive, pro-Israel, anti-terror initiatives on tens of campuses each semester.

Caravan for Democracy works hand-in-glove with existing Jewish and pro-Israel campus organizations to ensure the success of each event. This powerful synergy is helping to grow a dynamic cadre of independent, self-starting Jewish campus leaders.

Toward the future
Caravan for Democracy is catalyzing and revitalizing pro-Israel activity on campuses across America, by inspiring and empowering pro-Israel students and faculty. Caravan for Democracy speakers have addressed over 10,000 students and 400 professors on 70 campuses.
