5 New Initiatives for Democracy

New Initiatives for Democracy (NIFD) are designed to complement our existing work and create an ecosystem in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. NIFD will BUILD UP toward power and influence, REACH OUT to new constituencies, and FOCUS IN by concentrating resources.

How can we enlist activists in progressive campaigns?

How do we build bridges to new constituencies?

{

By using Online Engagement to build an activist community.

Over the past two decades, the Internet has redefined our reality in almost every aspect of life — media consumption, consumer activity, political and social interaction, and more. It has provided an entirely new set of tools that, when used well, can facilitate civic engagement, organize and mobilize people around causes, and build constituencies with power. After California’s Silicon Valley, Israel is the most concentrated hub of technological innovation in the world. In addition to their technological savvy, Jewish Israelis enjoy a sense of ‘civic entitlement’ — they believe that their voices and votes matter. NIF’s new investments in online organizing seek to capitalize on the potential for smarter use of new technologies to enlarge and empower progressives.

Online Organizing from the Bottom Up A major component of NIF’s new investment will be seed-funding an Israeli multi-issue platform. The mission of a multi-issue group is to find as many people as possible who agree with a broad range of progressive issues — and then expand their power and influence through strategic, consistent collective action. In this bottom-up model, the grassroots themselves decide which issues

The Masorti-Mizrachi sector — Israelis of Middle Eastern origin who adhere to traditional Jewish observance — are a key constituency in Israel, and one that cares strongly about many issues of social justice and inclusion. For historic and traditional reasons, however, this constituency has often rejected affiliation with progressive groups and movements.

will spark the public imagination and garner significant support online.

Bolstering Non-Profits Online

Founded in 1860, KIAH is the most veteran and distinguished organization operating in this Israeli sector today. In response to increased racism and polarization in Israel, KIAH is expanding beyond its traditional focus on education, and moving to establish itself as a strong public voice for tolerance and democratic values in the Masorti-Mizrachi community.

NIF’s action-arm Shatil — alongside ANU, an organization specializing in digital campaigning — will be providing strategic expertise to grassroots organizations to enhance their expertise in online organizing. Shatil will provide a range of trainings and seminars to bring together activists and leaders around online engagement tools and opportunities.

Together, NIF and KIAH will amplify a Masorti-Mizrachi voice to counter racism, intolerance, and exclusion. We aim to strengthen the dialogue between human rights and other social change organizations that are part of the progressive camp and the MasortiMizrachi community. We believe that there can be symbiosis between traditional Jewish and progressive values, and that segments of a community that has long seen itself as marginalized can become valued and valuable allies.

Supporting Issue Organizations and Campaigns Single-issue campaigns provide a unique opportunity to bring together activists — including unlikely bedfellows — around a specific cause. In their work fighting for freedom of religion, for example, NIF grantee Be Free Israel mobilized over 25,000 people — including a mix of progressives, right-wing secular Russian immigrants, and others who object to ultra-Orthodox hegemony — using mostly online tools. NIF intends to further invest in and support singleissue campaigns and organizations in implementing effective digital strategies.

7 New Initiatives for Democracy

How do we change Israelis’ day-to-day lives for the better?

How can we change the discourse and advance our values? With new partners who can Articulate a Progressive Vision and Policy. Emulating the American conservative movement, Israel’s ultra-nationalist camp developed a well-funded network that dominates Israeli discourse and works to influence politicians and policy-makers, while selectively elevating like-minded organizations and leaders. Israeli progressives, meanwhile, have failed to articulate an overarching vision that could yield real change. As a result, they are too often viewed as ineffectual, or as the voice of a chastising conscience. However, the success of the right-wing machine in Israel does not necessarily reflect the political beliefs and values of other broad segments of the Israeli public. Recent polling suggests that more than half of Israelis want real change on core issues facing the country including security, pluralism, social-economic equity, and Jewish-Arab relations.

By Promoting Solutions at the Local Level. The local arena, including municipal government, provides an avenue to promote civic engagement. Not only are local issues more likely to impact people’s everyday lives, but citizens advocating and organizing for policy change on the local level have a higher likelihood of success than in comparable country-wide campaigns. With

From Policy to Action

With NIF’s support, Molad intends to build and reinforce a coherent, strategic policy agenda, promote it through elite channels, and restore viable, intellectual leadership for liberal democracy in Israel.

A Catalyst for Change Molad also engages political leadership, organizations, journalists, pundits, opinion makers, and diplomats, providing them with fresh analysis and messaging. Its research teams also unearth findings on secret government activity that, when publicized, catalyses real policy change.

Where Progressive Meets Policy Enter Molad — the Israeli Center for the Renewal of Israeli Democracy.

Translating ideas into policy, Molad also runs a training program for young leaders. In addition, it holds non-partisan issue briefings for campaign managers and parliamentary aides; workshops on best practices with leading American grassroots organizers, pollsters and campaigners; and sponsors strategic communications forums with leading progressives.

Founded in 2012, Molad has quickly established itself as a leading think tank and hub for innovative thinking. In its short existence, it has already undertaken ambitious research on some of Israel’s touchiest subjects; generated significant policy

commentary, analyses, and recommendations; and established itself as the go-to institution for savvy political leaders, the media, and progressive strategists in Israel and abroad.

We believe that an applied think tank — in some ways similar to the Center for American Progress — that focuses on changing the public debate in Israel can play a foundational role in building a cohesive set of progressive, democratic initiatives. It can generate new ways to think about old problems; facilitate mobilization through communication and outreach; and put forward clear policy recommendations based on those ideas. Producing strategic research, analyses, and communications, it can respond to and reframe issues dominating the public discourse.

Expanding the Circles

Working in the Local Arena

From dialogue to action, Shaharit is working to create new partnerships and jumpstart social change. Russian, Arab, ultra-Orthodox and other Israelis bring fresh voices to the public debate that include their complex religious, cultural, and national identities.

Despite high tensions and increasing polarization between sectors at the national level, there is significant potential for collaboration locally. The successful joint secular/religious effort to fight women’s exclusion in Jerusalem is an excellent example of positive change at the municipal level that also impacted the national agenda. Additionally, prior to the 2013 municipal elections, Shaharit nurtured coalitions that brought together diverse constituencies in 20 locations throughout Israel, creating an inclusive vision for their towns, with some participants eventually going on to join the leadership in their municipalities. They are now expanding this network to include work in the Arab towns of Sakhnin and Arara, and in the northern border town of Kiryat Shemona.

For example, two years of meetings between leading human rights advocates and ultra-religious educators have revealed shared values that inform both human rights and traditional religious discourse and that can underlie a budding partnership. And the first cohort in a yearlong leadership program launching in the fall of 2014 will bring together emerging leaders from Israel’s diverse communities who share a commitment to a common set of core values for Israeli society.

By partnering with a think-do tank that creates new alliances and possibilities.

In order to mobilize the largest possible constituency in Israeli society for a democratic, shared future, we must build bridges to constituencies that do not identify as progressive but that share goals and values.

{

Alongside Shaharit, NIF aims to build coalitions advocating for an Israel rooted in decency, fairness, and social justice.

Engage using digital tools

Reframing the conversation and generating innovative ideas are at the core of Shaharit’s mission. Shaharit Fellows, a multicultural team of intellectuals/ activists, have already published dozens of articles in the Israeli press; a newly formed group is working to develop a socially conscious economic agenda; and the annual Shaharit Survey on Social and Political Values, now in its second year, will continue to examine the relationship between social and political values and map potential partners between unlikely communities.

How can we move policy from military to political solutions?

Shaharit, a “think-and-do tank,” promotes partnerships that span the divides in Israeli society — right/left, religious/ secular, Jews/Arabs, and Mizrachim/Ashkenazim — with the aim of creating networks vital for future collaboration across sectors. Shaharit conducts research and surveys, promotes intellectual discourse, brings disparate communities together, and facilitates partnerships.

Building the Intellectual Infrastructure

By Reclaiming National Security to include progressive ideals.

National security is a litmus test for leadership in Israel, trumping other issues when citizens decide whom they trust to be in power. Despite the more recent focus on issues of social and economic equity, there is a perception among many Israelis that only the right can be trusted with military security.

Through our partnership with the Council on Peace and Security (CPS), a progressive association of former senior security officials in Israel, we intend to reclaim and redefine the security discourse. By amplifying CPS’ resources and outreach, we can counter the current narrative, which exploits security issues for the purposes of defending the occupation. With our assistance increasing organizational resources, CPS will focus on articulating new and compelling ideas on the immediate and long-term security challenges facing the country, and on redefining the security paradigm in ways consistent with progressive values. They will provide a strong and reputable voice for moderation on security policy issues.

11 New Initiatives for Democracy

How can we engage the next generation in revitalizing Israeli democracy?

In the last decade, the Israeli media landscape has changed considerably. Many newspapers have been consolidated under right-wing ultra-nationalist ownership, skewing coverage of issues and the editorial voice to the ultra-nationalist perspective. Israel’s most popular newspaper is funded by a conservative American billionaire, hews closely to the Likud line, and is distributed to hundreds of thousands of Israelis every day.

Beyond rapidly responding to misinformation in the media, the organization will work with online organizers to encourage activist support for campaigns that combat hate speech. Building up a meaningful presence on social media sites will be critical in quickly getting the word out about the organization’s findings. These campaigns will also give ordinary Israelis an opportunity to participate in combating ultra-nationalist “spin” and contribute to rebutting media falsehoods.

Misinformation is most dangerous when it metastasizes.

Staffers will fact check and identify instances of inciting or racist language daily.

With no medium left unscrutinized — cable and network TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, and websites — researchers will meticulously scour the media for misinformation. Their work will allow for real-time knowledge of the news cycle, note broader trends in coverage, and foster research items or blog posts. The organization will aim to build a reputation as a trustworthy resource, with the capacity to rapidly respond to unfolding events by disseminating reliable facts and information.

NIF is seed-funding a new organization that will systematically monitor print, broadcast, and online media outlets for falsehoods and misinformation — particularly news or commentary that is inaccurate or misinformed, and that serves to advance an antidemocratic agenda. Like Media Matters in the US, a professional Israeli media monitoring organization can hold journalists and media outlets accountable to the truth and help keep the media a free marketplace of ideas.
