Building massively-visible mass support
for an evenhanded two-state solution for Israel & Palestine
Being the Change We Wish to
See
The Six
Day Peace component of our work is fostering and coordinating
an annual six-day,
positive, media-friendly global network
of events that builds mass support for an
evenhanded two-state solution – a unique opportunity
to highlight the sentiments embodied in the
crossed-flags-over-motto insignia to Palestinians and Israelis
on the front line, to their supporters around the world and to
the general public.
Among the
types of events we anticipate are political rallies, cultural
festivals and exchanges, and educational events. But we
encourage people to think of other activities and to share
their ideas with us so we can share them with
others.
While we
will undertake certain national and
international activities (such as advertising) directly,
we will not be directly planning or organizing most Six Day
Peace events. Rather, we will operate as the "coordinator of
coordinators", providing centralized planning
and support that minimizes the burden on individual event
organizers and maximizes the overall impact of the combined
events.
Our
fundamental goal is to increase public awareness of, and
support for, an alternative to the current cycle
of injustice and violence. Which in
turn means building public awareness of, and support for, the
shared humanity and legitimacy of both sides of the
conflict and demonstrating that an alternative is
possible.
Organizing Six Day
Peace events is an excellent way for groups and
individuals to network and build coalitions and
alliances.
Please contact us if you can help us reach
this goal.
