Jews Are From Judea: Exploring Indigenous Rights and Identity Among Jews

Feeling frustrated by being labeled a "white colonizer" as a Jew? You’re not alone! There are far too many misperceptions - and misinformation - about Jewish identity.

Join Amy Albertson, Lani Anpo, April Powers, and Michelle Ahdoot - moderated by Alexandra Smith - for an empowering and eye-opening conversation about Jewish indigeneity and social justice. This critical discussion will dive deep into the rich heritage of the Jewish people and challenge the misconceptions swirling in today’s discourse.

October 9 from 7-8pm EDT.

Zoom link will be provided upon RSVP.

Lani Anpo is an influential advocate for global Indigenous and Jewish communities. A multi tribal Native American Jew—Mandan, Hidatsa, Sahnish, Lakota, and Ashkenazi Jewish—Lani passionately champions the rights and stories of marginalized groups with a focus on protecting Indigenous sovereignty, promoting self-determination, and preserving history and culture.

Amy Albertson is a Jewish advocate and educator uplifting Jewish diversity, reclaiming Zionism, and fighting antisemitism through social media and public speaking. She is an Executive Board Member of B'Chol Lashon, and was named one of Hadassah Magazine's "18 American Zionist Women You Should Know" in 2023. While living in Israel for 6 years, she created "The Asian Israeli," where she cataloged her experiences as a Chinese-American Jewish woman. This exploration of her own identity and relationship with Israel led her to the work she does today.

Michelle Ahdoot is the Director of Programming and Strategy at #EndJewHatred. #EndJewHatred is a non-partisan international grassroots civil rights movement that unites ordinary people, activists, and organizations from around the world who support the cause that defines the movement: to end Jew-hatred in our lifetime. Through on the ground rallies and in person mobilization, college campus fellowship programs, massive click and sign email campaigns, speaker series, partnerships with other organizations, social media initiatives and so much more, we are on the map and creating change. The unique combination of End Jew Hatred’s application of maximum social pressure to combat Jew-hatred, together with, when issues cross over into the legal realm, The Lawfare Project taking over and creating change through impact litigation, is fierce.

April Powers is a Black Jewish woman who has been the head of DEI for some of the world’s largest companies. April dedicates herself to combating antisemitism and building bridges in her role as co-founder of Jewbian Princess.

Alexandra Smith is the Canadian Director for EndJewHatred, and collaborator to The Lawfare Project, is a dedicated advocate driven by personal tragedy linked to antisemitic violence.
