Peace Partners

“Peace Partners,” is a new collaborative initiative between Americans for Peace Now (APN) and The American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP), bringing together two leading pro-peace Washington-based organizations who share a vision of two states for two peoples. APN and ATFP have been collaborating for years, particularly through outreach to university students. APN is the sister organization of Shalom Achshav, Israel’s Peace Now movement. ATFP advocates for the creation of a Palestinian state living alongside Israel in peace, security and dignity.
