About

 

 

Micha Kurz was born in Jerusalem to parents who immigrated to Israel from Canada and the U.S. in the sixties.  He was in the National Youth Movement for six years, where he trained teenagers to work as leaders in their local communities.  At nineteen, he joined the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) as a combat soldier and attained rank of Master Sergeant.  After an honorable discharge from the army he co-founded Breaking the Silence, "an organization of former Israeli soldiers speaking out about our service in the Occupied Territories and the moral price, the degradation of spirit, we have had to pay on both societal and personal  levels while serving our nation".    

Micha has met with grassroots activists around the world and has gained perspective on the importance of affective local community organizing. He now resides in Northern New Mexico and is currently engaged in creating a network for Palestinian and Israeli NGO’s grassroots groups.  He plans to weave a common vision with the communities working on social justice issues.

He believes linking a global network supporting grassroots organizations in Jerusalem will eventualy lead to peaceful co-existence.

The plan now is to: Create a “map” of the Grassroots Peace, justice and sustainability efforts and organizations. To work on a mutual vision, on longer term goals and strategies.

To connect with similar organizations from around the world. To be an inspiring example for the Global Grassroots common unity
