Eyal Naveh, Brothers in Arms: "The struggle for democracy does not end with a committee for selecting judges or on the grounds of reasonableness. This is a struggle that has many fronts, and one of the most important of them is the local elections. We will not be a decorating committee, we take our fate in our own hands and together we will save Israel."
Moran Zar Katzenstein, Building an Alternative: "We expect candidates to present lists with equal representation between women and men in real places. Such lists will receive support from the protest in general and from building an alternative in particular."
