Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), a nonprofit organization advocating for democracy and human rights in the Middle East and North Africa, announced on December 18, 2025, the launch of a new online resource titled "The Faces of AIPAC."
This project profiles 50 individuals, 41 board members and nine executives, who lead the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), one of the most influential pro-Israel lobbying groups in the US.
DAWN criticized AIPAC for failing to publicly disclose its board and executive members on its official website, calling it a significant transparency issue for an organization of AIPAC's stature.
"AIPAC has obscured the identities of its directors and officers from the American public. Today, we're providing the transparency that this organization refuses to offer," said Sarah Leah Whitson, DAWN's executive director.
She emphasized the public's right to know who makes decisions that impact global affairs.
The resource, available at (www.AIPACwhoweare.org), is based on publicly accessible information, including AIPAC's IRS Form 990 filings, Lobbying Disclosure Act submissions, and Federal Election Commission records. (more...)
