Standing Together’s Alon-Lee Green and Sally Abed to Speak in northern NJ!
Standing Together is a grassroots Jewish-Arab movement fighting for peace, equality, and social justice for Jews and Palestinians in Israel-Palestine. Standing Together works on a wide range of issues, including real security, adequate housing, quality education, good healthcare, a livable climate, a decent salary, the ability to age with dignity and most critically these past two years, peace and an end to the occupation.
As long-time leaders of Standing Together, Alon-Lee Green and Sally Abed are uniquely positioned to speak about how they work to create a shared home for all – not by erasing differences but through true partnership based on shared interests. They will share their work and vision with us in this particularly uncertain moment in time.
