Meytal Russo is a Human rights activist and lawyer, Mizrahi feminist, and new mom to Eleanor. Meytal interned at the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and works mainly on immigration law, East Jerusalem issues and social rights. She is especially interested in shining a light on the Israeli Ministry of Interior and its unequal treatment of non-Jews. Keenly aware of being an immigrant herself, Meytal likes complicated debates about intersectionality.
