Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• Jewish charities have enhanced the culture of giving and volunteerism in Canada for generations, including The Canadian Zionist Cultural Association (CZCA), which has operated for over 50 years, providing essential services including grocery vouchers for families in crisis, scholarships for students in need, and support for bereaved families;
• The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has revoked the charitable status of the CZCA without providing the standard opportunity for administrative correction, a courtesy normally extended to Canadian charities;
• This revocation occurs during a period of record-high antisemitism and zionophobia in Canada, where Jewish institutions are increasingly targeted by violence and harassment;
• There appears to be a pattern of selective enforcement against Jewish and Zionist charities, such as the JNF, Ne’eman Foundation, CCP, Masorti Judaism, Herut Canada , Mazel Charity Fund, and The Emunim Fund; and
• The loss of charitable status for these charities directly harms vulnerable families and individuals who rely on their support;
We, the undersigned, Canadian Women Against Antisemitism (CWAA), call upon the Government of Canada to Immediately review the CRA’s decision to revoke the charitable status of each of the abovementioned charities individually to ensure the decision was not influenced by systemic bias or political pressure;
Mandate that the CRA provide all charities with a fair and transparent opportunity to correct administrative issues through compliance agreements before moving to the extreme measure of revocation;
Ensure that the Income Tax Act is applied neutrally and consistently across all charitable sectors, regardless of their cultural or religious affiliation; and
Take concrete steps to protect the charitable infrastructure of the Jewish community at a time of rising antisemitism.
