MONTHLY NEWS AND UPDATES
As extremism and radicalization increase in the U.S. and worldwide, we remain committed, more than ever, to our mission of strengthening American values, supporting the U.S.-Israel alliance, and combating bigotry and hatred in all of its forms.
 
We recognize that the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people are first of all the enemies of America, and we've implemented a strategic philanthropy vision to empower a network that can defeat the network of our detractors to safeguard our American way of life.
 
In a new op-ed published in The Daily Caller, Strategic Active Philanthropy Can Strengthen Our American Values, Adam outlines how to use strategic impact philanthropy to counter the unprecedented assault on America and the values on which it stands. Strategies include mapping out American values, reaching out to like-minded philanthropists, identifying partners and allies, and providing funding for collaborations, and facilitating partnerships between organizations.

Stand By Me is a nonprofit organization led by Gila that provides care and services to Israeli-American cancer patients and their families in Los Angeles. Please consider donating to ensure that Stand by Me can continue to fulfill its mission to make sure no one faces cancer alone.
 
For our Hebrew-speaking audience, we are pleased to share an interview with Adam published in Maariv about his strategy for fighting antisemitism and other forms of hate in the U.S. The strategy begins with recognizing that antisemitism is no longer just a Jewish problem, but it is a problem for all Americans.
 
Lastly, we invite you to learn about Fuente Latina (FL), an exceptional non-profit Spanish-language media organization that breaks down geographical, cultural, and linguistic barriers for Spanish-speaking media covering Israel, the Jewish world, and the Middle East. FL empowers journalists and influencers with information and access to newsmakers to facilitate accurate coverage in real-time. We are proud supporters of Fuente Latina.

With sincere love and admiration for America, the State of Israel, and the Jewish people,
 
Gila and Adam Milstein
Strategic Active Philanthropy Can Strengthen Our American Values
This article was originally published in The Daily Caller
"Our American way of life and the values at the heart of Western society are under attack by radical hate groups on both the left and the right, funded by ideology philanthropists. To counter them, we must draw upon the same successful methods of fighting against Jew-hatred.

The first step is to map out the American values that are worth fighting for, including democracy, the freedoms of speech, religion, press, and assembly, education without indoctrination, capitalism and rule of law?"

Stand By Me
"With a warm heart and open arms, Stand By Me is the extended family in support of its brothers and sisters on their road to recovery." 

- President, Gila Milstein
Stand by Me is a nonprofit organization that was founded by Gila in 2009 in order to provide daily support to Israeli-American cancer patients and their families in Los Angeles.

Not just a "Jewish problem": A Strategy for Fighting Antisemitism in the United States
This article was originally published in Maariv
"The strategy for fighting Jew-hatred in the U.S. and around the world is to realize that antisemitism is not just a 'Jewish Problem.'"

Spotlight Organization: Fuente Latina
Fuente Latina (FL) increases Hispanic support for Israel by empowering Latino media with the facts they need – before and when the news breaks – to accurately cover Israel and the Jewish world, regardless of their geographic location.
 
Latinos will comprise 30% of the U.S. population by 2050. They are the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Israel’s enemies have 24/7 Spanish-language news networks, Israel does not.
 
FL is the only organization filling this void, thanks to the Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation, by providing Media Fellowship trips to Israel, expert interviews, digital content, newsmaker events, media training, production, and more. Our work resulted in 5,500+ interviews, 45,000+ news stories, 150 op-eds, and 2 TV Emmys, reaching 800M+ Latinos worldwide.
 
This summer, FL is launching a digital news brand to engage Latinos under 30 about Israel while combating fake news and antisemitism on social media.
