Standing Together is the largest progressive grassroots movement organizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel to end the occupation of Palestinian lands and for peace, equality, and social and climate justice. Its nearly 7,000 dues-paying members are organized into 12 chapters throughout Israel and 14 student chapters.

The group has mobilized tens of thousands in street actions and organized hundreds of aid trucks for Gaza. Standing Together also runs the Solidarity Guard, which tries to protect those deliveries and Palestinians in the West Bank from state-backed settler violence. It has continuously brought to the attention of the Israeli public the Israeli government atrocities in Gaza — while the mainstream Israeli media have largely ignored it.
