NPO Spotlight - OneVoice Movement
Mission:
To achieve a two-state agreement that would guarantee the establishment of a viable independent Palestinian state at peace with Israel.
About the Organization:
OneVoice, an international movement of Americans, Palestinians, Israelis, and Europeans that includes Muslims, Jews, and Christians, was created in 2003 by the founder of the PeaceWorks Foundation, Daniel Lubetzky, to end the conflict, occupation, and violence between Palestinians and Israelis.
Current Programs:
OneVoice offers programs along four tracks. The Israeli and Palestinian tracks are designed to stimulate political discussion and conflict resolution through town hall campaigns, leadership development workshops, and mobilization training seminars, while the Regional track is focused on cooperative development and education through joint Palestinian and Israeli programming such as the citizens' negotiation platform and regional college tours. The international track is geared towards promoting global understanding of "the other" through educational programs. Its 2008 programs were designed to create public awareness on the importance and the urgency of the current negotiations for peace in the Middle East, inspire hope and activism among the people, and educate global citizens on the negotiations process.
