Peaceworks is committed to moving a critical mass of Israelis and Palestinians to reject the status quo and unlock the full potential of both peoples.
Amplifying Moderate Voices for Lasting Peace
Our work began during the Second Intifada in 2002, driven by the need to amplify moderate voices in times of violence. Founded by Daniel Lubetzky, who later created KIND snack bars, PeaceWorks has tirelessly worked to empower the moderate majority of Israelis and Palestinians.
Today, PeaceWorks promotes lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians by engaging with the entire ecosystem of peacemaking. We look at frameworks for real progress, identify and amplify essential efforts, and attract more funders by providing clear direction. If you are interested in directing your support to effective peacemaking projects in the region, please email info@onevoicemovement.org.
This fall, our latest initiative, PeaceWorks on Campus, will launch across 20 American college campuses to offer a hopeful alternative to current Middle East activism, targeting future policymakers.
Join us in supporting a comprehensive approach to peace, fostering hope and sustainable change in the region.
OUR COMMITMENTS
We are committed to a just and lasting two-state solution that respects the security and rights of both Israelis and Palestinians and opposes all forms of terror and violence. We condemn continued occupation and settlement expansion, and push for equal civil, political, and economic rights as key steps to peace.
-
We unequivocally condemn any endorsements of violence, extremism, or terror, refusing to support or fund any associated entities. We call on all stakeholders to denounce terror and educate their communities about the dangers of endorsing violence.
-
Peaceworks recognizes the deep-rooted ties both Jews and Palestinians have to the land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean, affirming the need for a two-state solution that ensures coexistence and mutual respect for each other’s rights, safety, and cultures.
-
The ongoing conflict, occupation, settlement expansion, corruption, and political stalemates must end. We advocate for the empowerment of moderate voices and the development of civic capacities as essential steps away from this unacceptable status quo.
-
We envision an environment where both Israelis and Palestinians live free from conflict, violence, degradation, and trauma, ensuring security for all families.
-
We assert that Israelis and Palestinians should equally enjoy fundamental human rights, including freedom of movement, access to clean water, education, healthcare, and a justice system that upholds their rights.
