After October 7th, Solidarity with Israel Coalition was formed to bring together people of all backgrounds to show our unwavering support for Israel and for freedom.
SWIC hosts rallies in support of Israel, provides educational events, brings in local speakers and speakers from around the world.
Our Mission
Solidarity with Israel Coalition (SWIC) stands with Israel and the Jewish community by building relationships through education, communication and awareness.
Solidarity With Israel Coalition started as a group of interfaith citizens from Naples, who became outraged after learning that the terrorist group Hamas had just attacked innocent Israelis at a music concert, kidnapping 251 people and brutalizing children, mothers, and grandmothers. To show their support for the Israeli people, a series of four rallies was held with the theme“Bring the Hostages Home.” During these rallies, the group decided it needed to become more formal and called itself Solidarity With Israel Coalition, later abbreviated as SWIC.
Our Core Initiatives
Empowering change for a brighter tomorrow
Get Involved
SWIC hosts rallies in support of Israel, as well as educational seminars at meeting places throughout Southwest Florida.
Collaboration
Check out this beautiful song written by our good friend and SWIC supporter, Avihai Peretz.
Avihai survived what happened on 10–7 and came to talk to us in Naples about what it was like that day and since… And he also shared his beautiful music.
We’re so appreciative to our supporters including Senator Rick Scott, local leaders, and others.
Education & Awareness
Empowering our community with factual, inspiring, and accessible information about Israel and the global rise of antisemitism. Through expert speakers, seminars, educational resources, and digital outreach, we strengthen understanding and combat misinformation.
Advocacy & Action
Mobilizing our community to stand publicly and proudly with Israel. From coordinated rallies to equipping coalitioners with information they can use from SWIC's important programs.
