Building power through Jewish-Palestinian solidarity: Hear Standing Together leaders speak in Cambridge
UK Friends of Standing Together is proud to host Amin Amara and Uri Weltmann, two members of the Standing Together leadership, for a speaking tour in the UK. Standing Together is a grassroots social movement based in Israel, which mobilises Palestinian and Jewish citizens against war, occupation, and racism, and for peace and equality. Since 7 October, it has been one of the most prominent voices within Israel mobilising to demand a ceasefire and hostage-release agreement. It organised a "Humanitarian Guard" which defeated far-right settler attacks on aid convoys, and also organised its own "Aid to Gaza" campaign. In recent weeks, Standing Together has been on the streets consistently with its "Refuse War" campaign, calling on Israeli citizens to refuse to kill or be killed in a war that is being fought to keep Netanyahu in power. Meet the speakers: Amin is a Palestinian citizen of Israel and a member of the national leadership of Standing Together. He is the director of the Hebrew-Arabic content and social media department. He has been with Standing Together for over three year. Uri is a Jewish citizen of Israel, and the national field organiser for Standing Together. He was a founding member of the movement in 2015. A longtime peace and anti-occupation activist, he also has a background in community organising and LGBT+ activism. UK Friends of Standing Together is part of a global network of supporters, working to build practical solidarity with Standing Together's work, and amplify their message and vision. We'll hear about Standing Together's resistance to war, occupation, and racism, and the movement's struggle for peace and equality. There'll be an opportunity to ask questions, and discuss how we can organise to support Standing Together's efforts.
