The 16th Annual Guardian of Democracy Dinner in San Francisco was NIF’s most successful dinner to date, raising over a quarter of a million dollars and bringing together a record number of attendees—over 460 in all, including 100 young activists in their twenties and thirties.  A number of NIF veterans (including at least one founder of our organization) reported that it was, quite simply, the best NIF fundraising dinner ever.   Our audience was the most diverse we’ve ever welcomed, including Jews of all persuasions, two tables of Christian friends, a powerful LGBT contingent, and people from virtually every walk of Bay Area life.

The evening’s program was extraordinarily powerful, building in intensity as the event progressed (notably, the room remained full and rapt until the final words were spoken).  We are excited to be able to share videos of the entire speaking program online here.  Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
