We seek to put our core principles into practice by:
Supporting each other in our commitments and institutional struggles;
Alerting colleagues to the crisis in our field and contesting passivity, complicity, and denial in our institutions, whether universities, museums, research centers, or scholarly associations;
Advocating for colleagues and students who are targeted, intimidated, or harassed for their scholarship and/or political beliefs by right-wing actors, the state, or their own employers, including public and private universities;
Urging our own campuses as well as all institutions dedicated to teaching and research on the Holocaust, genocide, and political violence to uphold democratic principles, basic freedoms, and human rights; to assertively resist rising authoritarianism and fascism; and to stand with those subjected to and/or opposing forced population transfer, gross human rights violations, and genocide anywhere;
Developing and deepening relationships of solidarity and intellectual collaboration with Palestinian scholars and scholars in Palestine Studies, as well as with genocide studies scholars broadly;
Building an independent, online platform for pedagogy and research, with resources that educate about fascism, genocide, Israel/Palestine, racism, antisemitism, and other group-based forms of hatred and discrimination.
