One Million Voices for Peace in the Middle East

Young Israeli and Palestinian peace activists from the OneVoice Movement will speak about their experience mobilizing hundreds of thousands of moderate Israelis and Palestinians who want to achieve peace through a two-state solution to the conflict.

The OneVoice Movement is an international grassroots movement with over 640,000 signatories in roughly equal numbers both in Israel and in Palestine, and 1,800 highly-trained youth leaders. It aims to amplify the voice of the overwhelming but heretofore silent majority of moderates who wish for peace and prosperity, empowering them to demand accountability from elected representatives and work toward a two-state solution guaranteeing an end to occupation and violence, and a viable, independent Palestinian state at peace with Israel.
