State & Local
Pro-Israel Advocacy
ICAN is a bipartisan 501(c)(4) lobbying organization combating Jew-hatred and antizionism at the state and local level — where it affects everyday Jewish Americans.
Why ICAN exists
Direct Political Action
Most Jewish organizations are 501(c)(3)s — limited in political action. ICAN engages directly in state and local politics where laws, enforcement, and school policy are actually decided.
Your special forces on the ground.
Fighting Where It Matters
CAIR, JVP, and anti-Israel organizations are making Israel an issue through ethnic studies curricula, BDS proposals, and ceasefire resolutions at the local level.
If we're absent, they write the law.
The Mamdani Index
Our proprietary AI-driven scoring system identifies, tracks and rates officials on Israel positions, voting records, public statements, and campaign finance data.

Whether we like it or not, anti-Israel organizations are making Israel an issue at the state and local level through ethnic studies curricula, BDS proposals, and ceasefire resolutions.
They're actively trying to deny equal treatment and civil rights for American Jews while redefining antisemitism.
If we are not present and part of the conversation, these organizations control the narrative, set the policy, and write the law.
