Ms. Erez-Likhovski will speak about the situation on the ground in Israel today in light of the proposed judicial changes, and the LGBTQ+, Women’s rights, Arab rights and other cases she and her team are fighting in order to retain a liberal foothold in Israeli society. Time for discussion and a great opportunity to hear from a leading proponent of social justice and democracy in Israel today.
