Getting voters out of the house: the new campaign in Arab society

A new campaign to encourage voting in Arab society was launched in Sakhnin, initiated by Dr. Khuloud Abu Khrafa, without support for a specific party. The signs call on the Arab public, with an emphasis on women, youth, and business owners, to go to the polls. The campaign is expected to expand to additional communities in the coming days.

A new campaign to encourage voting in Arab society was launched in Sakhnin, ahead of the Knesset elections. Behind the initiative is Dr. Khuloud Abu Khrafa, a businesswoman and social activist, who seeks to encourage civic engagement and turnout at the polls without supporting a specific party or candidate. As part of the campaign, billboards were hung bearing a message in Arabic: "The decision to vote is the decision to change your future." The initiative targets various groups: youth concerned about crime and violence, Arab women facing low employment rates, and business owners. One sign was placed outside the country club in Sakhnin and appeals to sports enthusiasts. Abu Khrafa said: "In Arab society, there is a large public that does not go to the polls. I want to see more people, and especially more women, taking part." According to her, "You can't expect our voice to be heard if we don't voice it." The campaign is expected to expand to additional communities in the coming days.
