The American Christian Leaders for Israel (ACLI) today announced the launch of a growing list of Partner Networks, a bold initiative bringing together some of the most influential Christian leadership networks in the country to stand united in advocacy for Israel and against unprecedented antisemitism in the United States.
Spearheaded by the USA Branch of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ USA), ACLI is a coalition of over 3,000 Christian leaders. This new initiative to also include Partner Networks has greatly enhanced the reach and potential impact of this collaborative coalition formed in 2015. Together, these Partner Networks represent thousands of leaders spanning every state and a broad spectrum of denominations. From a wide array of pastors’ networks to Christian broadcasters, lawmakers, and interfaith alliances, this coalition reflects the broad diversity of the American faith community. United under the ACLI banner, these partners are actively amplifying the biblical call to bless Israel and combat antisemitism at a time of intensifying hostility.
“Our mission at ACLI has always been to unite the power of our collective voices to stand with Israel and against antisemitism,” said Dr. Susan Michael, ICEJ USA president and ACLI founding director. “The launch of the Partner Networks will enable us to act with greater unity, speed, and impact when Israel and the Jewish people face threats. This is not only about policy—it’s about answering God’s call to amplify truth amid a flood of misinformation, promote justice, and affirm our biblical convictions.”
Together, the coalition forms a powerful media and advocacy engine—shaping the national conversation. The Partner Networks build upon ACLI’s proven campaign model—including letters, petitions, Capitol Hill advocacy, and media engagement—by expanding coordination, deepening reach, and providing a stronger support infrastructure for Christian leaders.
Several major associations have already joined ACLI’s list of Partner Networks, including the Asian Action Network, Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), CURE Clergy Network, Israel Christian Nexus (Eagles’ Wings), the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL), the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) and its Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition (HILC), the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance (NAHPA), and the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB).
“These are the moments when clarity matters most,” said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Leadership Conference (NHCLC), and Pastor Juan Rivera, president of the Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition (HILC), in a joint statement. “Together—ACLI, the NHCLC, and our Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition—we will build the greatest firewall against antisemitism in America, equipping pastors, mobilizing congregations, and speaking with one clear, biblical voice for Israel and the Jewish people. In an age of moral fog, we choose clarity over confusion, courage over compromise, and covenant over cancel culture—because silence is not an option.”
The urgency of the initiative is shared across the coalition. Jason Rapert, founder and president of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL), noted: “ACLI has been a leading voice encouraging good relations between Israel and America for many years. Now, when we see a surge in antisemitism and threats against Israel’s sovereignty, ACLI’s leadership in unifying Christian leaders in support of Israel is more important than ever. We are honored to partner with ACLI and others who are willing to stand with our friends in Israel.”
That same commitment was echoed by Sacha Roytman, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM): “At a time when moral clarity and interfaith unity are urgently needed, CAM is honored to stand with Christian partners in support of Israel. We look forward to collaborative work to tell the truth about Israel and build deeper bonds between the Christian and Jewish communities in the United States.”
The media community, too, has lent its weight to the effort. Troy Miller, president and CEO of National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), stressed the practical impact of unity: “We at NRB recognize the critical importance of a united front in shaping policies that affect our communities across America. By standing with the tens of thousands of people ACLI represents, we are able to go to Capitol Hill with the collective strength needed to effect meaningful change and command attention—from Capitol Hill to corporate boardrooms. We believe in the power of unity.”
The Partner Networks also include the Asian Action Network, led by Herman Martir, which is mobilizing the Asian Pacific American community around biblical values and firm support for Israel, as well as the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance (NAHPA), which is equipping Hispanic leaders to combat antisemitism, provide education, and build lasting ties between their communities and Israel. Together with NRB, CAM, NACL, and others, these partners showcase the breadth of Christian conviction in support of Israel’s right to security and peace and stand as a united front against the rising tide of antisemitism in America.
ICEJ, long recognized for fostering Christian support for Israel, views ACLI as a natural extension of its mission. By uniting the voice and combining the strength of influential Christian leaders and organizations, we will have greater impact at a time when Israel’s friends are called upon to be more visible and vocal than ever.
