Track AIPAC is an anti-Zionist political advocacy group that advocates against the involvement of AIPAC and its lobbying efforts through tracking financial contributions to federal officials and candidates.[1]

History

[edit]

The organization began tracking financial receipts in 2020, in order to highlight the financial donations of AIPAC to President Donald Trump.[2]

The organization has criticized many notable politicians, including Tom Cotton,[3] Marco Rubio,[4] and Elise Stefanik, and[5]

Following the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, the organization criticized Hakeem Jeffries, creating a social media post with an image reflecting $1.6 million donated to Jeffries from the pro-Israel lobby, with the caption "FIRE HAKEEM JEFFRIES."[6]

Financial tracking

[edit]

Track AIPAC uses information from OpenSecrets and the Federal Election Commission to compile information about funding donated to candidates.[7]
