Grassroots Jerusalem sets out to provide an “Evolving Map” of the current grassroots activities and organizations working in the Jerusalem area. We provide a picture of what is currently happening on the ground, the pending urgent issues, the local solutions and where support is needed to further the work.
Grassroots Jerusalem does not discriminate between Israeli or Palestinian initiatives, nor does it categorize according to religion or political affiliation (although they may be mentioned). We believe that everyone is entitled to their piece of the puzzle, and their own opinion. What interests us is what is being done, not what is being said.

Days before the Jerusalem Pride parade we spoke about Homophobia, tranophobia, being gay in Jerusalem, the place pd of the gay struggle and other struggles, and what does equality actually mean? We heard from ido Katri, a transgender activist here in Jerusalem, and Noam Gal who will be the next chair person of the Jerusalem Open House.
Sahar did the show alone today as Micha was arrested in a non-violent protest in Hebron the day before.

In today's show Sahar and Micha spoke with Iris Keltz, an American Jew who, in 1967
married a Palestinian Man in Jerusalem when East Jerusalem was Jordan.
She soon found herself in the middle of the 67 war. Iris spoke about
her experience during and after the war and the changes she has seen since until her most recent visit
to Jerusalem, Hebron & A' Samua'a in South Mount Hebron hills. She still dreams of a Just Peace between the peoples of the Mediterranean and the Jordan River.
