About [Edit]
| Our Goal |
| OneVoice 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 ensure that the
agenda is not hijacked by forces of militant absolutism. |
| Our Approach |
| Since
the inception of OneVoice in 2002, this grassroots movement has taken a
bold approach to engaging Palestinians and Israelis in greater civic
involvement. Spawned during a time of hopelessness and frustration
following the collapse of the Oslo process, the OneVoice movement
strives to empower the moderate majority of Israelis and Palestinians
to take a more assertive role in resolving the conflict. OneVoice works
to reframe the conflict, transcending the “left vs. right” and “Israeli
vs. Palestinian” paradigms and revealing that the moderate majority can
prevail over the absolutist vision of an extremist minority, which so
often succeeds in derailing the peace process. In addition to its unique methodology, OneVoice deploys cutting edge technology, electronic democracy, a network of activists and member organizations, and a broad cadre of experts, dignitaries, celebrities, business leaders and spiritual authorities. Its award-winning Public Negotiations Process educates people about the issues themselves as well as about the art of negotiation and non-violent conflict resolution. The OneVoice Leadership Program equips hundreds of young Israelis and Palestinians with grassroots leadership and community organization skills, empowering them to propel the majorities on both sides to demand accountability from elected representatives and to ensure that the agenda for peace is not hijacked by forces of violent absolutism. Over the next year, OneVoice will unite and bolster the movement of moderate Israelis and Palestinians from across the political and religious spectrum on an unprecedented scale. These citizens will push for progress and negotiations with strength and conviction, bridging the gap between the moderate majority and the elected leadership and demanding accountability to the will of the people, while marginalizing their outnumbered extremist counterparts. Via its 2006-2007 “What Are You Willing To Do?” campaign, OneVoice leads the call for the moderate majority to take a stand and demand an expedited end to the conflict and the realization of a two-state solution.
