LFI’s new Voices for Change project gives those in Israel striving for democratic values, social justice and peace the opportunity to share their challenges, hopes and achievements. Spanning six key areas – strengthening democracy, shared society, gender and sexual equality, Israeli-Palestinian peacebuilding, regional peacebuilding, and social justice – we are giving a voice to activists, researchers and changemakers who come from different backgrounds and work in different fields – but who share a commitment to the values of equality, democracy and peace envisaged in Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
Officially launched in Liverpool at Labour Party conference, these voices for change are charting a different path from the one set out by the current Israeli government – towards peace, social justice and a strengthened democracy. Together, they offer a hopeful mosaic of voices pushing back against the empty politics of division and fear.
