In June 2019, @IfNotNowOrg revealed they now share AMP’s pivotal goal to influence American politics.
While AMP’s strategy has been to lobby congressman who attend their annual Palestine Advocacy Day, INN leaders announced their attempt to directly influence 2020 United States presidential candidates.
The group employed six full-time activists to follow the summer campaign trails of various Democratic candidates and lobby them to take a position against “the occupation.”
In addition, INN co-founder Max Berger, positioned himself as a Director of Progressive Partnerships for U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign.
Berger, an avowed anti-Israel activist, recently came under fire for a 2013 tweet exposed by Canary Mission, in which he remarked that he would be “friends with Hamas.”
Despite AMP being anti-Semitic to its core, INN leaders are more than happy to collaborate with them. To find out more about both AMP and their partnership with INN, check out their profiles canarymission.org/campaign/ampif…
