LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Adam Milstein, Israeli-American philanthropist, community leader, and co-founder of the Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation (MFF), announced today that MFF will sponsor and host a panel at the 2025 State Policy Network (SPN) Annual Meeting, taking place August 25–28 in New Orleans.

The panel, "Fostering American Values and Fighting Radical Ideology in America's Education System," will convene top thought leaders and nonprofit partners to discuss how radical ideologies fuel antisemitism and erode American values — and how organizations across the country are effectively fighting back.

The panel will be held on Tuesday, August 26, at 3:30 PM CT and will feature:

• Yana Chernyak, Director of Foundation Relations, State Policy Network
• Kemberlee Kaye, Managing Director, Legal Insurrection Foundation
• Nicki Neily, President, Defending Education
• Chen Rosenberg, Director of Programs, Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation
• Aaron Withe, CEO, Freedom Foundation

Together, these leaders address threats ranging from academic extremism to indoctrination in schools and union overreach. While their arenas differ, they share a mission of protecting individual rights, accountability, and American values against powerful, radicalized institutions.

"We are delighted to take part in the SPN annual event, as we see it as a crucial opportunity to educate on why antisemitism is an American problem and show examples of how we can efficiently fight it," said Adam Milstein, co-founder of the Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation.
