They are affiliated with the political party that I support , Meretz .

Ref : https://www.progressiveisrael.org/about-us/history/

Meretz USA was strengthened by a 1997 merger with Americans for Progressive Israel, an organization whose origin dated back to an organization of graduates of the Hashomer Hatzair youth moment in the mid-1940s. API participated in Zionist institutions, raised money for the kibbutz movement and organized community and cultural activities. It established a monthly journal, “Israel Horizons.”a voice for left-wing Zionists for 59 years until 2011. PPI’s current online magazine, under the same name, first appeared in the fall of 2017.

In the early 2000s, Meretz USA collaborated with the Labor Zionist Alliance (today called Ameinu), as well as college-aged members of the two left-Zionist youth groups to create the Union of Progressive Zionists (UPZ). By 2007, the UPZ had chapters at 60 universities and colleges across the United States. In 2009, the UPZ became “J Street U.”

Partners for Progressive Israel has supporters and partners in many places across the United States. It has board members in California, DC, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina and more. Its national offices are in New York City.
