IJV's 15th Anniversary Conference

Mark your calendars to be in Toronto June 16-17 for IJV’s 15th Anniversary Conference: Anti-racist solidarity and the fight for justice in Palestine. The conference will take place Friday-Saturday (open to the public) followed by our 2023 IJV Annual General Meeting on Sunday, June 18 (IJV members only). The AGM will be hybrid in-person and online with the option to join via Zoom.

We cannot be more excited to reunite in person and fuel our movement for the years to come.

We will be hearing from activists, scholars, journalists and organizers about the intersection of anti-racism and Palestine solidarity and new strategies for action within Jewish communities.

We are in a crucial moment of political change and movement-building. As the new Israeli government loses legitimacy, the IHRA working definition of antisemitism is being pushed as an “anti-racist” strategy to shield Israel from criticism, all the while fuelling anti-Palestinian racism and isolating the fight against antisemitism from the broader anti-racist movement.

Join the conversation as we learn and strategize ways to centre anti-racism in our solidarity with Palestinians, advance intersectional approaches to combatting antisemitism, and grow Jewish cultural and community work against settler-colonialism and Israeli apartheid.
