The Nexus Project
Who We Are
The Nexus Project is made up of individuals deeply committed to the fight against antisemitism — and to the fight to uphold pluralistic democracy, which makes everyone, including Jews, safer.
Our Work
The Nexus Project engages with American civic and political leaders, scholars, and decision-makers to fight antisemitism and protect democratic freedoms, including free speech. Our work equips policymakers with the resources and guidance they need to understand and address antisemitism — and to build effective alliances to combat it.
The Nexus Project Task Force on Issues Related to Israel & Antisemitism is composed of leading experts and scholars who analyze — and promote greater understanding of — issues at the intersection of antisemitism, Israel, freedom of speech, and pluralistic democracy.
