Addressing a Gap:
Across government, universities, and civil society, antisemitism and anti‑Zionism are advancing through policy, funding, and culture. Institutions often lack the legal clarity and political will to respond. Funders want measurable outcomes, not statements. Communities need protection and change.
Evolve Advocacy Consulting partners with funders, community institutions, and policy leaders to design and execute high‑impact legal, regulatory, and narrative strategies that defend Jewish civil rights and strengthen democratic norms.
Julie offers a wide range of services, including key note speaking, how-to workshops, legal complaints, goal setting, communication plans, speech writing, and engagement strategies. Julie enjoys training and mentoring teams across civil society organizations, private foundations, and community groups.
