Standing Together : An Evening with Leadership Members
An Evening with Sally Abed and Nadav Shofet
Join us to discuss this critical moment in Israel-Palestine and how Standing Together is organizing for peace, equality and a shared future.
Standing Together is the largest progressive grassroots movement organizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel. In recent years they have become one of the most powerful voices in Israeli society fighting against the Right’s campaign of forever wars and occupation and for a society based on peace, equality, and social justice.
Join Nadav and Sally for a moderated discussion with Forward senior columnist Rob Eshman. They will share first-hand updates on the movement’s activism in the aftermath of Israel’s October elections and the work that lies ahead.
Standing Together is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible. To achieve this future, we must stand together as a united front: Jewish and Palestinian, secular and religious, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, rural and urban, and people of all genders and sexual orientations. As the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, we are committed to creating an alternative to our existing reality and building the political strength to make this transformation possible.
