G7 Leaders’ Communiqué

CFP was proud to join other ALLMEP members in March to advocate for this approach on Capitol Hill. ALLMEP has spent the last month leading a global coalition united in calling for a new approach from the G7. 37 UK Parliamentarians, 22 Members of the European Parliament, and His Holiness Pope Francis – who attended the summit – all added their support to the campaign, standing in solidarity with the ALLMEP community and recognizing the critical role that grassroots organizations have to play in any long term, sustainable peace process. The letter was signed by more than 160 Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilding NGOs, and over 200 civil society organizations from around the world, including from places like Northern Ireland, South Africa, Colombia, and Kashmir, where communities know only too well the pain of entrenched conflict and the importance of civil society in breaking cycles of violence and injustice.
