What does it mean to be a member of IfNotNow?
Members of IfNotNow identify as Jewish* and are committed to growing a community rooted in Jewish values and ritual that serves as a political, spiritual, and cultural home to stand against the oppression of Palestinians. Members invest in the power of organizing and commit to building a world where Jewish safety is created not from fear and isolation but through solidarity.
As a member, you support IfNotNow in two specific ways:
You contribute financially at whatever level is possible for you.
You take action towards realizing IfNotNow’s mission – whatever kind of action is possible for you – in ways consistent with our Code of Conduct.

What Your Membership Dues Makes Possible:

Cutting-edge digital safety and legal infrastructure to protect our movement and our people

*We welcome non-Jews to support the movement as Sustaining Allies, because we know that realizing our vision of a thriving future for all through solidarity requires many forms of allyship. This includes: Jewish allyship to Palestinians, white Jewish allyship to Jewish and non-Jewish people of color, and the non-Jewish allyship to Jews engaging in the work of organizing our community from a place of compassion and healing. We invite Sustaining Allies to participate in the movement as outlined above for the sake of supporting our Jewish-led movement to build power.
Why should I join IfNotNow officially?
Membership is vital to build our movement in three essential ways: political power, financial resources, and social connection. The urgency of our cause requires increasing the scale and impact of our work. To do this, we ask you to invest in IfNotNow today both politically and financially, while deepening our beloved community.
Grow Political Power: Our collective voice is louder when decision-makers and Jewish leaders understand the strength of our movement.
IfNotNow member numbers signal the growth in the portion of the U.S. Jewish community that believes our freedom and safety are intertwined with those of Palestinians. The number of members also reflects the far larger group who agrees with this fundamental principle even if they are not yet active in the movement. Rising numbers of members and supporters show that we represent a growing and critical mass – a movement that can shift the tides within Jewish institutions, at the polls, in the streets, and in government.
Invest in the Jewish future: Your financial support enables IfNotNow to reach more people, organize them more effectively, and grow a stronger, wider base of support for the change so urgently needed.
Grants are scarce for IfNotNow, because our bold mission excludes us from mainstream Jewish funding and leads funders outside the Jewish establishment to view our work as politically risky. Philosophically and strategically, it is also essential that IfNotNow be responsive to the people investing time and energy to advance the mission. By pooling resources from thousands of IfNotNow activists and supporters like you, we build a sustainable movement true to our base's values and goals.
Connect with Like-Minded People: IfNotNow brings people together in a compassionate, open and nourishing Jewish community of care.
In today's polarized context, many Jewish institutions are tightening ideological control, silencing and excluding all who value Palestinian as well as Israeli humanity. By contrast, IfNotNow is redefining Jewish community through solidarity and connectedness. When you become a member, you join not only the chorus of Jewish voices demanding an end to injustice, but a group of people working to build a Jewish future we can be proud of.

Acknowledging the ways that systems of oppression continue to dominate our society, we welcome Jews who hold marginalized identities to sign up for membership at our lowest rate of $5/year while you explore this movement and community.
