034: The Pursuit of Socio-Political Peace with Standing Together

Standing Together is a grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice. “While the minority who benefit from the status quo of occupation and economic inequality seek to keep us divided, we know that we — the majority — have far more in common than that which sets us apart.”In this episode, Yael Drier Shilo—one of the founding members and current financial director of Standing Together—shares how the grassroots movement led by Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel is standing for peace. She explains how the organization advocates for true social and economic justice on a daily basis, and how they’re organizing to meet the solidarity needs of the current moment.Check out @thisishowwecare and @standing.together.english on Instagram.You can find full transcripts, links, and other information on our website.
