Sikkuy-Aufoq - For a Shared and Equal Society (R.A)

Representation Index

Targeting the underrepresentation of Arabs in Israeli media coverage, we measure discrimination, publish the data, and pinpoint those responsible. Pressure at the top has yielded more coverage of Arab society, but real equality is still a long way off

Education for a shared society

Promoting education for a shared society in the K-12 school system, and encouraging the Ministry of Education to prioritize its principles

Shared Public Space

Working to make public spaces in Israel shared and egalitarian, where the language, culture and identity of Arab citizens of Israel will be fully present

A-LIST: Arab Experts for Israeli TV and radio in Hebrew

The A-LIST is a database for the Israeli media, offering instant access to Arab experts, articulate women and men with knowledge in diverse fields, all of them outstanding interview prospects from the Arab community

Transportation in Arab towns

We work with Arab local authorities toward equality for Arab towns in transportation infrastructure development and planning, better public transportation services, and relevant policy changes at government ministries

Fair representation in civil service employment

We promote a policy of fair representation for Arab men and women in government service, government companies, and public service overall, with equal opportunity to rise to more senior ranks and greater representation of Arab women

A fair share of government tenders

We initiated an innovative policy to expand employment in Arab society via proactive changes in government procurement, to raise the demand for Arab workers in the private sector job market.

Housing in Arab Towns

We prod government ministries and assist Arab local authorities to ameliorate the housing crisis in Arab towns, implement Government Resolution 922, remove barriers to development and insure equal allocation of resources

Day care centers in Arab towns

Removing barriers to enable construction of thousands of childcare centers now lacking in Arab towns, in cooperation with local authorities, and changing government ministries’ policies

Equality in Public Transit and Education in the Negev

We work with the Regional Council of Unrecognized Villages for more access to educational and public transportation services for Arab Bedouin citizens in the Negev’s unrecognized and newly recognized villages

Resolution 922 Followup

Government Resolution 922 will greatly remedy unequal budgeting for Arab towns, if fully rolled out. We prod government ministries to remove barriers and increase support for Arab local authorities.
