Upcoming events at the protest camp against socio-economic terrorism:
Two weeks ago a camp was set up in the heart of Jerusalem to protest against social and economic terrorism, under the Hebrew title "Victims of Socio-Economic Terrorism". The camp is inhabited by homeless families (most of which are single parent) and victims of the infamous " Wisconsin" project. Despite police approval, the City of Jerusalem has refused to permit the protest camp. The residents appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice, but were turned down. As a result, the camp is under threat of immediate eviction by city personnel. All demands made to the City of Jerusalem so far have not been met.

"Families of the protest camp tell their stories"

"We, women of the ' Victims of Socio-Economic Terrorism ' group, homeless families and victims of the infamous ' Wisconsin' project, have been living in the protest camp for the past two weeks. We invite you to a conference titled "The social policy – where are we heading?", with the participation of protest camp residents and social activists, to discuss the anti-social policy".
The camp, located in the "Menorah" Pit in the heart of Jerusalem, was initiated by Ayala Sabag, a long-time activist for social justice, who assembled the families to discuss further possible actions. A decision was taken to come out of the shelters, basements and staircases, and go out into the streets, parks and public spaces, to mobilise and fight for housing rights and fair employment.
We shall not give up until our demands are met!
Even if the tents are demolished, we'll continue the protest and sleep under the stars.
We don't have anywhere to go from here.
