DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nOn the heels of Project 2025 comes Project Esther, a 
 fascist blueprint for silencing protests against Israel and indoctrinating 
 the nation into Zionism and Christian nationalism. Another horror from the 
 Heritage Foundation, Project Esther says its goal is to eliminate 
 anticolonial perspectives from the US education system through the 
 criminalization of protests by “HSO” (Hamas Support 
 Organizations).\n\n“Project Esther appropriates the story of Queen 
 Esther, the Jewish heroine who saved the Jewish people from extermination 
 … Rather than protecting Jews from antisemitism, Project Esther deploys 
 antisemitic conspiracy theories mixed with the false claim of 
 ‘defending’ Jews as a smokescreen to attack the Palestinian liberation 
 movement.” (Jewish Voice for Peace Academic Advisory Council, 
 3/13/25).\n\nJoin us for a discussion of Project Esther and resistance to 
 white supremacy.\n\nFeatured Guests:\n\nBrooke Lober serves on the Academic 
 Council of Jewish Voice for Peace, a national coalition of undergraduate 
 and graduate students, alumni, and campus activists united in support for 
 Palestinian equal rights and liberation. Brooke organized a group from 
 JVP’s Academic Council to author Rejecting Project Esther: Understanding 
 Christian and White Nationalism as Racism and Antisemitism.”\n\nBrooke is 
 a lecturer in Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of California, 
 Berkeley. A teacher, writer, and social movement scholar, Brooke is 
 currently researching legacies of antiracist and anti-Zionist feminisms in 
 the Bay Area.\n\nBarry Trachtenberg serves on the Academic Advisory Council 
 of Jewish Voice for Peace and the Advisory Board of the Institute for the 
 Critical Study of Zionism. He holds the Rubin Presidential Chair of Jewish 
 History at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, United States. Barry 
 has written several books, including The United States and the Holocaust: 
 Race, Refuge, and Remembrance (Bloomsbury Press, 2018).\n\n
