Gideon's Sword | Advocacy Warfare | Newsletter #1 | February 2025
Dear Partners,
After six months of uncompromising activity, we are excited to launch the first newsletter of the Sword of Gideon and share with you the revolution we are leading. Our vision is clear: to stop the spread of Islamist-Jihadist ideology in communities across the free world – in the US, Europe, and Australia.
In this newsletter, you'll discover the vision and values that drive us, delve into our 2025 action plans, and learn about the significant initiatives already underway. Now is the time to join us, be part of real global change – to shift the discourse from defense to offense, and stop the darkness threatening to engulf the free world.
2025: A Year of Action – Not Just Talk
In the coming year, we'll focus on establishing 20 independent action cells in key cities, identifying challenges, developing tailored intervention plans, and implementing them. The cells will operate independently in their local arena while integrating into a powerful international network that enables knowledge sharing, strengthening successes, and increasing impact.

Hot Updates from the Field:
Community Interventions:
First pilot in Washington is running in two central districts. Action teams are mapping community radicalization expressions and preparing action plans for Q1 2025.
Youth Initiative:
Facing a wave of antisemitism, youth are leading a revolution. Led by Stella Hitch, who delivered a powerful speech to school administrators, a youth core is developing an innovative response model – one that will become a powerful tool for communities worldwide.
Stickers Campaign:
1,000 stickers were distributed across Washington, raising pointed questions about the loss of liberty values in the name of free speech. The stickers link to a disturbing Canary Mission video exposing calls to destroy the free world. Watch moments from the action here.
Innovation and Tools:
Advanced Radicalism Survey:
We've developed an innovative survey for identifying radicalization signs. It's in final adaptation stages for American audiences and will soon be distributed as part of the intervention process.
New Discourse Campaign Coming:
Our creative team is working on a global campaign distinguishing between Islamophobia and serious, focused discussion of Islamism and Jihadism. Details coming soon.
Inspiring Partner Meetings:
At our last meeting, we hosted Attorney Soraya Din – a brave Muslim feminist calling for a coalition of conscious mothers to stand against extremism and hate. Since the war began, despite criticism, Soraya continues to voice clear support for releasing the hostages.
