Students Supporting Israel (also known as SSI) is a Zionist international student activist movement that supports Israel as a Jewish and democratic nation-state. "SSI mission is to be a clear and confident pro-Israel voice, and to support students in grassroots activism". As of June 2024, SSI has more than 130 chapters across campuses in the United States, Canada, and Argentina.[1] SSI was founded in 2012 in Minnesota, in March of 2014 Indiana University and DePaul University students registered SSI chapters on their campuses turning SSI to a national movement. The first university to open an SSI club in Canada was the Toronto Metropolitan University (previously Ryerson University) on April of 2014. By October of 2014 and the new fall semester, SSI was approved as a 501c3 non-profit organization and operated on 27 campuses. From October 2023 until the end of the 2023/4 academic year, more than 50 schools started an SSI club on their campus. SSI national offices are in Minneapolis.
