Overview

Mission

The alliance's mission is to foster and promote an understanding of, and conduct educational activities focused on, critical issues facing israeli society and the future of the state of israel, with a focus on progressive ideas, secular democratic ideals, and the core values of universal human rights, pluralism, equal economic opportunity, fiscal responsibility, and a just basis for national security, in order to strengthen and encourage civil society, leadership, and public discourse.

What it reported doing in 2019

The alliance endeavors to reinvigorate israel's liberal camp by creating a fund that will identify and support the most ambitious, resourceful, and thoughtful organizational leaders in israel today, alongside organizations working in the sphere of liberal political ideas. We envision that these men, women, and organizations, who have demonstrated commitments to democratic, pluralistic values will become a group of active leaders. In short, the alliance seeks to build the next generation of israeli leaders. We anticipate that the cohort of selected fellows and organizations will continue to work together in an effective network of shared goals and values beyond the parameters of the alliance.
