Discontent with the status quo, Onevoice's Israeli and Palestinian activists have dedicated themselves to working towards change and a better future for their societies. While describing their parallel grassroots peacebuilding efforts in Palestine and Israel, these young leaders will discuss their personal motivations for working to resolve the conflict, the unique challenges facing their activism, as well as the way
we as Americans can support them in their efforts.
OneVoice activists are engaged in peace and consensus-building efforts, working within their national communities to end the conflict. They are committed to a comprehensive negotiated two-state solution based on the 1967 lines and previous bilateral agreements, that will guarantee an end to the occupation and all forms of violence, resulting in a viable independent Palestinian state living in peace and security with Israel. Through leadership training, public lectures, town hall meetings, and political advocacy these young leaders work to connect the grassroots with elected officials, enabling ordinary citizens to take ownership of the process.
OneVoice's unique structure of parallel Israeli and Palestinian movements operating according to their national communities, interests and toward the shared goal of the two-state solution provides a fresh perspective on the conflict that is not only pragmatic, but also presents hope for the future.
