How do we move from mobilization to actually winning this fight for our future? In the season finale, Sally and Jess reflect on the moment we’re in—societal fatigue, collective amnesia, and rising political violence in Israel-Palestine and around the world. They explore why old paradigms and mainstream opposition politics can’t meet this moment, what kind of alternative is needed, and how to build durable political power rooted in the shared interests of the majority.
Sally Abed lives in Haifa and is a member of the national leadership of Standing Together. Sally was elected to the Haifa city council in February 2024, becoming the first Palestinian woman ever to lead a joint slate in Israel.
Jess Bricker lives in Tel Aviv and is a peace and anti-occupation activist. Over the past few years Jess has worked as the English social media & content manager for Standing Together.
