Highlights from NIF’s 2025 Guardian of Democracy Gala
On Sunday, May 4, NIF hosted our annual Guardian of Democracy Gala in-person in San Francisco, and livestreamed for our global audience. During this time of incredible uncertainty, at home and in Israel, we gathered as a wider NIF community to remind ourselves of the values that we stand for and to remember that we are not alone in the fight for a better tomorrow. NIF is hard at work defending democracy, protecting civil and human rights, blocking the forces of extremism, and fostering a vision for peace. Thank you all for making that work possible. Please see below for some of the highlights from this important event.
