On this tentatively happy day — finally! — I’d like to reach out to all the protesters among you, including those who used to protest but stopped.

Thank you! It was a thankless job, rain or shine. Took a lot of faith and tenacity.

Anyone looking at us from the outside, has no idea what we’re thinking, what we’re going through, or what is pushing us to continue.

Now that we can finally begin to breathe, I’d like to invite you to fill out my survey of protesters, which is part of my academic work. Capturing protesters’ experiences. In English!

I promise to share insights here, obviously without compromising anyone’s identity. The insights from the Hebrew version are awe inspiring.

Here’s to their safe return!

The flowers go to the protesters, who did not give up.
