Brooke Goldstein

Executive Director

Brooke Goldstein is a New York City-based human rights attorney, author, and award-winning filmmaker. She is the Executive Director and Founder of The Lawfare Project, the world's foremost organization dedicated to enforcing and protecting the civil and human rights of the Jewish people via strategic legal actions. The Lawfare Project strives to achieve justice for the Jewish community while punishing and deterring acts of Jew-hatred. Clients include, among others, Jewish students and professors facing antisemitic discrimination and harassment on campus, Jewish professionals experiencing severe and institutionalized antisemitic hostility in the workplace, and companies targeted with commercial discrimination in relation to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. The group's #EndJewHatred initiative aims to reframe bigotry and discrimination against Jews in America as a civil rights concern. "What we found is that through grassroots mobilization, the unification of the community around civil rights issues is important — the retraining of what's happening to the Jewish community as a civil rights issue, not a political issue," Goldstein explained.
