On August 9, Haaretz writers Ilan Lior and Jonathan Lis headlined, "Protest leaders present their vision for social justice in Israel," saying:
Protest organizers and student leaders, along with social organization representatives and ones from youth groups "issued a joint statement Monday presenting what they see as the main principles behind their struggle for social justice."
Their "Framework of investment for a new socio-economic agenda" Vision Document began by saying:
"For a number of decades, the various governments of Israel have opted for an economic policy of privatization that leaves the free market without reins. This economic policy....has become our daily existence - a war for survival to subsist with dignity."

(1) Minimizing economic, gender-based and national social inequalities.
(2) Making the current economic system more equitable.
(3) Reducing the out-of-control cost of living, as well as demanding full employment.
