The Atlanta Israel Coalition is a grassroots, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization educating, mobilizing, and uniting communities in support of Israel and against antisemitism — locally and internationally.

Yes. AIC is nonpartisan by design and welcomes individuals across the political spectrum who share a commitment to Israel’s security, democratic values, and the fight against antisemitism. AIC does not support or oppose any candidate for public office.

AIC works across four areas: education and community briefings; advocacy and community mobilization; humanitarian missions and relief to Israel; and joy and resilience programming, including the Kosher Duck Revolution.
