18 Feb Leading the Counter Islamist Strategy: Frontline on Grassroots Advocacy
Date & Time: Tuesday, March 3, 2026 @ 12:00pm CST
Location: Virtual Meeting Held on Zoom
About: This webinar highlights how to mobilize constituencies and “disrupt” the policy-making arena to achieve tangible, legislative victories. Mr. Baird will discuss his role leading a grassroots army of advocates to create a “disruptive” advocacy. His high-pressure campaigns have successfully de-platformed radical speakers and pressured Congress to designate Iranian-backed militas as terrorist entities.
Speaker: Benjamine Baird is Director of MEF Action at the Middle East Forum and former U.S. Army infantry veteran. He is a public affairs specialist focused on Middle East policy, foreign influence, and counter-Islamist advocacy. He has led successful pressure campaigns, including the landmark America for Sale report on Qatar’s $40 billion influence operation and investigations exposing $25 million in U.S. grants tied to extremist groups. His work appears in National Review, New York Post, and Jerusalem Post.
