At the JNS International Policy Summit 2026, Daniel Rosen didn’t come with a policy proposal or a lengthy strategic plan.

He came with a challenge.

A challenge to a Jewish community facing rising antisemitism, growing anti-Israel activism and unprecedented pressure in the aftermath of October 7.

A challenge to stop watching from the sidelines.

And a challenge to act.

“I have one word, and that word is organize,” Rosen told the audience. “We need to organize in order to mobilize. We need to organize online, and we need to organize offline.”

The room was filled with Jewish leaders, activists, policymakers and community members, but Rosen’s message was directed at everyone.

For him, the lesson of the last several years is clear: awareness is not enough.

“What we’ve learned in the last two and three-quarter years is that talking about things doesn’t really create any energy, doesn’t really create any activity, but action—action, action—actually does.”

Those words are more than a slogan. They are the foundation of IMPACT, the grassroots movement Rosen co-founded around three simple but powerful principles:

Organize. Empower. Mobilize.

Founded to unite Jewish communities and allies in the fight against antisemitism and anti-Israel extremism, while amplifying Jewish pride, joy, and resilience, IMPACT is transforming concern into action and spectators into advocates. Guided by its mission to Organize, Empower, and Mobilize, IMPACT harnesses the power of digital advocacy, rapid-response campaigns, community organizing, leadership development, and grassroots activism to turn individuals into a force for change. Whether online or on the ground, IMPACT gives people the tools, opportunities, and confidence to stand up to hate, strengthen their communities, and create meaningful impact........
