www.onevoicemovement.org
To amplify the voice of Israeli and Palestinian moderates, empowering them to seize back the agenda for conflict resolution and
demand that their leaders achieve a two-state solution guaranteeing both the end of occupation and the establishment of a viable
Independent Palestinian state as well as the safety and security of the state of Israel - allowing both people to live in peace with
all their neighbors.

Achieving the final status agreement is going to be a challenging and complicated process, requiring extraordinary creativity and
courage. One Voice believes in the power of the people to take part in the decision making process, demand
accountability from their leaders, and create a historic change. While each side clearly has its own perspective, One Voice
is certain that there is a mutually acceptable solution that can accommodate the positions of both sides.

To implement its mission, OneVoice utilizes a four-pronged approach: recruitment, civic engagement & education, youth
leadership, and mobilization. Our activities are coordinated from our regional offices in Tel Aviv, Ramallah, and Gaza City,
with international headquarters in New York.
