ReThinking Foreign Policy is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization which works to provide a clear lens into U.S. foreign policy and promote progressive change in U.S. foreign affairs. RTFP focuses particularly on the intersection of foreign policy and domestic politics, focusing on anti-bigotry movements in the U.S. and linking them to global issues, inspired by the globalist agenda that tells us that domestic problems cannot be solved without also addressing the U.S. role in the world. RTFP focuses in part on the weaponization of antisemitism and Islamophobia in foreign policy and domestic public discourse by directly confronting these phenomena where they exist, supporting progressive movements in understanding, advocating, and mobilizing against antisemitism and Islamophobia while also resisting the abuse of these issues to promote militaristic and oppressive ideologies and policy goals.
RTFP was started in 2019 by Mitchell Plitnick.
