The Association for Civil Rights Israel (ACRI) is the oldest and most influential civil and human rights organization in Israel. Founded in 1972, ACRI is the only NGO in Israel advocating across the broad spectrum of human rights and civil liberties for everyone living in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Our strategic focus areas include: social and economic rights, civil and political rights,  Arab society, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and migrants, refugees and statusless peoples. 
​
ACRI pursues change through legal and policy advocacy, education, and public engagement to demand that Israel adheres to democratic principles. By working within the courts, the Knesset, government agencies and civil society, ACRI tackles Israel’s most urgent human rights injustices.
