Fighting Together for Peace, Equality and Social Justice

On March 8, International Women's Day, we will organize and take to the streets to raise women's struggles for justice on the public agenda.

On March 8, International Women’s Day, we will organize and take to the streets to raise women’s struggles for justice on the public agenda.

Over the past year, a wave of voices rose up all over the world to demand change.

Resistance to economic, political, and gender oppression was a shared value across diverse movements.

Women comprise 50% of the world’s population, and are usually the first to be affected by crushing economic policies. Women of color or who belong to minority groups are doubly oppressed. Nevertheless, the same women are consistently on the front lines of struggle, leading an uncompromising quest for social justice.

On March 8, we will march together and hear the diverse voices of inspiring women leading the way towards peace, equality and social justice.

Order of Events:

16:00: Gathering at Kikar Habima

17:00: March along Sderot Rothschild

18:00: Discussion circles at Beit Haam – We will meet each other and learn about various struggles in the areas of Home, Body, Work, Security, Leadership and Faith

19:30: Party!

Please spread the word.

Instead of Showy Arrests, Let Palestinian Workers Return to Construction

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, which came into effect on Wednesday, November 27, marks the end of the war in Lebanon. If it holds, a period of reconstruction will begin, bringing a dramatic increase in the need for workers in the construction sector. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Palestinians are waiting for the government to allow them back into construction sites in Israel. Thousands of contractors are also desperate for skilled labor, reporting that the foreign workers they have managed to recruit are too few and insufficiently trained.

As an organization committed to the rights of workers without distinction of religion, race, nationality, gender, or profession - democracy is our essence. We strongly oppose the authoritarian laws that the extreme government of Netanyahu, Lapid, Bennett, and Smotrich is attempting to impose.

Without democracy, there are no workers' rights, just as a workers' organization cannot exist under dictatorship.

only a victory of the democratic camp will enable a discussion on the Palestinian issue and lead to an alternative solution to occupation and apartheid while ensuring human rights and citizenship for all, Israelis and Palestinians alike. As long as the apartheid regime persists, the democratic camp will not succeed in defeating Israeli extremists. Therefore, we work to involve the Arab and Palestinian society in the protest.

We invite you:

To march with us in protests and to build an alternative, democratic, Jewish-Arab professional union in Israel. Join our quiet WhatsApp group today, "Marching with us in protest."

To join MAAN and unite workers in your workplace. Read here how to join the organization.

To follow MAAN's work on social networks.

Please write your full name, phone number, and a brief description of the subject of your inquiry, and a representative from our organization will get back to you as soon as possible.
