The Activists Blog

The Daily File covers everything that has to do with the occupation, every shade of it, every branch, every context. And we all know there's no shortage of those, they just keep multiplying. So we thought that it's only right that this page will be a place for you, the activists, the people who won't accept this atrocity, who get up every day and actually do something about it, fight it, try to change it, help out, show up for others. Each of you, wherever you're able to. We want to hear from you. Tell us about that one thing, small or huge, that you actually managed to change, or the thing you tried and couldn’t. Talk to us about the frustration that just won't quit, or that flash of anger that hit you out of nowhere. Share something you read that lit a spark, gave you an idea, made you want to act. Shout out something you've been carrying around and just need to say out loud because keeping it in isn't an option anymore. Or say something about a vision you have, something you can picture clearly but are still trying to work backwards from, and figure out where you'd even begin. Write to us, point us toward things, show us what you're doing, so there's a record of it. So that people, now and later, will know that not everyone stood by in silence. Some of us pushed back. Really, truly, reach out. Write, call, let's talk it through, whatever's easiest for you. We'll be sharing what you send us on the site's blog every week, in Hebrew and in English (I'll take care of the translation). Ayala Shalev, Editor
