 Helen Diller 
 Foundation!\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJKH1WcVrJb5g-DcvpBzjMALNmK8QS7m4xF3pPOl-99Icbkg/\n\nSince 
 2001, the Helen Diller Foundation has donated millions to six groups that 
 the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as hate groups: The David 
 Horowitz Freedom Center, the American Freedom Law Center, the Center for 
 Security Policy, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, Turning Point 
 USA, and Cultures in Context Incorporated. The Helen Diller Foundation has 
 given another 100 million to explicitly Zionist, anti-Palestinian, and 
 anti-Muslim groups including: AMCHA Initiative, Friends of the Israeli 
 Defense Forces, Israel Project, The National Library of Israel USA, 
 American Israel Education Foundation, Jewish Institute for National 
 Security Efforts, Central Fund of Israel, Cufi Foundation, Shurat Ha Din 
 Israel Law Center, Israel Allies Foundation, Philos Project, Middle East 
 Forum, and Independent Women’s Forum. \n\nThe Helen Diller Foundation's 
 funding of the AMCHA Initiative enables the group in their campaign against 
 the UCSC Critical Race & Ethnic Studies department. Their smear campaigns 
 and bad-faith accusations of "antisemitism" against the department and its 
 faculty have resulted in extensive harassment and even death threats. AMCHA 
 is an openly Zionist organization and considers any criticism of the state 
 to be "antisemitism", including an on-campus book talk by self-proclaimed 
 "Jewish Israeli scholar" Maya Wind. AMCHA has even classified Jews Against 
 White Supremacy UCSC as an "antisemitic" entity. In a 2015 op-ed, AMCHA’s 
 founder claimed that “campus anti-racism protests are bad for the 
 Jews.” \n\nDespite this, the Center for Jewish Studies at UCSC has 
 continued to accept money from the Helen Diller Foundation, as a primary 
 funding source, since 2012. JOIN US IN CALLING ON JEWISH STUDIES TO DROP 
 ALL FUNDING FROM AND TIES TO THE HELEN DILLER FOUNDATION!\n
