An emergent democracy initiative for Israel and Palestine
Oct 29th, 2003 by jimmoore
Check out the process description for OneVoice,
an emergent democracy citizens peace initiative that is being supported
by a group of Hollywood stars, young professionals and activists, and a
few old-line peace policy folks..
I know this initiative has garnered some chuckles because celebs
are treading where Bill Clinton and George Bush have failed, but what
folks miss is that the grassroots online citizen polling design of this initiative is about as
far from top-down traditional guns/money/diplomacy as it can be.
I can’t even begin to predict whether OneVoice will make a difference–but
then, in the early days of the Howard Dean campaign he didn’t seem to
have a shot, either..
Now if OneVoice just added a blogging and a newsgathering component..
