RICI builds partnerships

The Rhode Island Coalition for Israel (RICI) is continuing to build relationships with the Latino faith community. RICI, in partnership with Vision Evangelica church, will host an Israel Vigil and Event on Sunday Aug. 4 at 1014 Broad St., Providence. The event is primarily in Spanish and is open to the community. Pastor Daniel Gonzalez, Latino Director of Christians United for Israel, will be the guest speaker. RICI has been key in bringing Pastor Gonzalez to speak about Israel at other Latino churches throughout the state as well during this weekend.

RICI is continuing to build an ongoing partnership with the Brown Alumni for Israel and the Brown Students for Israel in preparation for the Brown University vote on divestment slated for October. It is also working to counter antisemitism on campus. RICI is committed to working collaboratively with these groups, as well as with Brown faculty, to support Jewish students and their needs at Brown. StandWithUs has also been a part of this organizing.
