There was excitement all around. On July 23, 2018, 35 Arab women were handed their geriatric-care qualification certificates by the Academic School for Nursing at The Hillel Yaffe Medical Centre in Israel. The women had previously been unemployed or worked as cleaners or in agriculture. The training involved 72 hours of theory and 48 hours of practice. At the graduation ceremony, the women were joined by Dr Meyrav Ben-Natan, manager of the School for Nursing; Tamar Vechter, manager of the School’s enrichment programme; Ayat Cabhah of the staff; Muraad Amash, chair of Jisr A-Zarka council; Rasam Jubran, head of the village’s welfare committee; Silvia Zayed, public health nurse in Jisr; Wafa Tiara, manager of the women and work project at WAC-MAAN union; Amani Kadan of WAC-MAAN staff; and Michal Schwartz, women’s forum coordinator at WAC-MAAN.

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."
