Waging Peace - Building a Movement - Changing the Status Quo

Description: One Voice is an international grassroots movement that amplifies the of voice of mainstream Israelis and Palestinians, empowering them to propel their elected representatives toward a two-state solution. The movements works to forge consensus for conflict resolution and build a human infrastructure capable of mobilizing the people toward a negotiated, comprehensive and permanent agreement between Palestine and Israel that ends the occupation, ensures security and peace for both sides, and solves all final-status issues in accordance with international law and previous bilateral agreements. The 1967 borders form the basis for the establishment of an independent, viable Palestinian state, with permanent borders and any modification to be agreed upon by both parties. The movement recognizes that violence by either side will never be a means to end the conflict.
