From Grassroots to Purple Skies

In Episode 8, we sit down with Sally Abed — socialist organizer, new mother, and the first Palestinian woman to lead a joint Jewish-Arab slate and be elected to Haifa’s municipal council with Haifa Majority. As a leader in the purple grassroots movement, Standing Together, she works to turn joint struggle into political impact.

Sally reflects on her path from neighborhood activism to municipal leadership, the values that guide her work, and the impact of boycotting, including the challenges of being targeted by it.
