… of Christian Schools International “In his three years at the helm, Speaker Johnson has shown the world that he leads to accomplish what is right, not what is easy.

Sources support that Christians United for Israel (CUFI), not an entity called Citizens United for Israel Action Fund, reported more than 10 million members as of 2025-2026. The claim misnames the organization and attributes the membership to the CUFI Action Fund, which the sources describe as CUFI's nonprofit policy arm rather than the membership body.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Contradicts. The claim names "Citizens United for Israel Action Fund," but the sources identify the organization as Christians United for Israel (CUFI), with the CUFI Action Fund as its 501(c)(4) policy affiliate; no source names a Citizens United for Israel entity.[1]

Supports. A CUFI Action Fund press release states that Christians United for Israel, described as the largest pro-Israel organization in the US, has more than 10 million members.[1]

Supports. A 2025 Waging Nonviolence article likewise reports that CUFI has more than 10 million members.[2]

Context. Earlier CUFI figures were lower: 2 million members in an older JNS report and 7 million in a 2019 press release, showing the membership count has grown over time.[3][4]
