I express no opinions other than to say that the young people of today are the adults of tomorrow.

You're Invited: Global Town Hall Meeting
(webcast live to your living rooms, classrooms, and dorm rooms!)

Ever wonder what young Israelis and Palestinians growing up in conflict zones hope for, dream about, and are working to change?
Ever wonder what both groups are doing to end the conflict between their two peoples?
Ever wonder what our role as citizens of the world should and can be?

If you've ever wondered and would like to know more, please join Empower Peace and OneVoice on Monday, May 19, for a Global Town Hall Meeting webcast from East Jerusalem linking Israeli and Palestinian youth leaders with students and young people from around the world.

The three Israel and three Palestinian youth leaders you'll be hearing from are youth leaders in the OneVoice Movement, a 640,000-person strong Israel-Palestinian conflict resolution organization. Israelis and Palestinians come to the OneVoice Movement for very different reasons, but they are united in their commitment work on parallel tracks with their own communities to end the conflict and to engage people from around the world in amplifying these calls for conflict resolution.

The webcast is broadcast live over the internet and is free. You'll be able to log on, instant message in questions, and learn about what each of us as young people--in our own communities and on the world stage--can do to help end the conflict in Israel and Palestine.

BROADCAST DETAILS:
Date: Monday, May 19, 2008
Time: 12 PM EST / 9 AM PST (7 PM Jerusalem/Amman/Kuwait, 9 PM Islamabad)
Web Address: www.empowerpeace.org

To sign up your classroom or to learn more, please visit www.empowerpeace.org or www.OneMillionVoices.org.



About One Voice Movement
One Voice Movement is a mainstream nationalist grassroots movement with over 640,000 signatories in roughly equal numbers both in Israel and in Palestine, and 3,000 highly-trained youth leaders. It 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 work toward a two-state solution guaranteeing an end to violence and occupation and the establishment of a viable, independent Palestinian state at peace with Israel. OneVoice counts on its Board over 60 foremost dignitaries and business leaders across a wide spectrum of politics and beliefs, joining as OneVoice for conflict resolution. (www.OneMillionVoices.org)

If anyone can cast off the baggage of the previous generation, it is the next generation. Or, possibly,t he one after. Glad to see this happening.

It can't hurt, that's for sure. Much better than people shouting at each other across a fence or on a forum.
