New Language for Israeli Politics – Standing Together National Co-Directors about their Practical and Rhetorical Choices. A conversation with Alon-Lee Green and Rula Daood about the relation between practice and theory.
Lead by Anna C. Zielinska (University of Lorraine, France) & Eliaou Balouka (Birkbeck College, University of London).
Alon-Lee Green is the National co-Director and a founder of Standing Together. He got his start organizing Israel’s first trade union of waiters in a chain of coffee-shops and went on to found Israel’s first National Waiters Union. Alon-Lee emerged as a prominent leader of Israel’s social protest movement in the summer of 2011, and subsequently served as a political adviser in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.
Rula Daood is the National co-Director of Standing Together and speech pathologist by profession. She is a Palestinian citizen of Israel, born and raised in the Galilee village of Kafr Yasif and began her activism in her home city and later became involved in promoting Jewish-Arab partnership in mixed (Jewish-Arab) cities. Before joining Standing Together, Rula worked as a community organizer, organizing events and protests that drew hundreds of activists.
The International Friends of Standing Together (FOST) invite you to join a new series of webinars designed for all audiences interested in exploring alternative approaches to fostering inclusive and egalitarian politics in Israel. Our goal is to present the « theory of change, » the philosophy underpinning the actions of Standing Together, which involves the process of building a large-scale social and political movement. Key figures from the movement will share their insights on transforming conflict discourse through community building and the genuine empowerment of everyone involved.
Standing Together is the biggest grassroots movement organizing Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice.
