The Safety of Others by Elsa Auerbach, Sara Roy and Eve Spangler
Published in the London Review of Books - 5 April 2022
Last month, neo-Nazis stood in formation along the route of Boston’s St Patrick’s Day Parade. The overt display of white supremacy was yet another horrifying reminder of the rise of fascism in 1930s Germany and of the growing antisemitism in the United States today. It demands that we remain steadfast in dismantling antisemitism and fighting racism in all its forms. We find it both painful and ironic that major Jewish organizations are labelling us, daughters of Holocaust survivors and refugees, as antisemites.

 AMP's Report on Working with Zionist Organizations
This memo is intended to provide the American-Muslim community with a set of criteria by which to determine whether or not to work with various Jewish , to determine whether or not these organizations have Zionist and Islamophobic history, to provide the rationale for which it is necessary to avoid working with these organizations, and to provide a list of prominent organizations in both the good and bad categories- both to inform the community that they should stay away from these organizations and to use them as a benchmark.

“The ADL is not an Ally” by  DropTheADL.org
To our beloved community: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has branded itself as a civil rights organization in ways that conceal and legitimize its right-wing activities undermining the rights of Black, immigrant, queer, Muslim, Arab, and other marginalized communities.
Many progressive individuals and organizations partner with the ADL not knowing its ongoing legacy of supporting racist policing, surveillance, colonialism, and the silencing of social justice activism. Misinformation about the ADL’s work, and its credibility in progressive circles, are what allow the ADL to continue harming social justice movements.
The following primer was compiled by organizations across the US working in coalition for freedom, justice, and equality. We hope it can be helpful in strengthening all of our social justice movements in resisting repression and advancing a vision of liberation for all. Many conflicts between the ADL and our movements are not covered in this primer. Community efforts to resist the ADL are also not covered here.
For additional information and updates, visit  DropTheADL.org#DropTheADL Communities say no to the Anti-Defamation League in our schools, coalitions, and movements
