SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ZIONIST LEADERS
A Proactive Grassroots Approach on Campus.

At Students Supporting Israel, our leaders are PROACTIVE and ENGAGED on campus - we don't wait to take action.

We recognize the importance of student governments in shaping campus culture and opinions, and we are committed to involvement and advocacy within these bodies. The fight against the delegitimization of Israel on college campuses is rooted in student governments, and we refuse to be reactive. Instead, we proactively work within student governments to promote Israel and prevent antisemitic actions from gaining traction. We shape the narrative and create a supportive environment for Israel and Zionists on campus.

From incoming freshmen, to student body presidencies, our goal is to educate and inspire future democratic leaders, promoting a pro-Israel environment on campuses. 

Through SSI’s Student Government Israel Alliance Initiative, we empower pro-Israel SGA leaders, ensuring student government representatives remain allies of the pro-Israel and Jewish community, ​promoting activism and understanding. By shaping SGA perspectives, SSI is shaping the future of pro-Israel advocacy.

The resolutions passed variously called for the support of Israel through the investment in and increase of study abroad programs in Israel, promotion of Israel, countering the BDS movement, and calling for the adoption of the IHRA definition of Antisemitism.
 
In addition to the resolutions, other SSI efforts included three chapters at the University of Minnesota, San Diego State University and DePaul University, defeating anti Israel proposals in their student governments. On two other campuses, the University of Minnesota and Augsburg College, SSI members ran for the student body Presidency position, finishing second. Other SSI members from different chapters are holding various positions in student governments, such as student senators and at large representatives. 

Most recently, in 2023, Students Supporting Israel at UCSB was directly responsible for the condemnation of Hamas and the actions taking place on October 7th.
