With its first meetings between Palestinians and Israelis taking place in Gaza in 1998, the Parents Circle - Families Forum (PCFF) is an organization led by people devoted to dialogue, collaboration and reconciliation. The PCFF seeks no new members; to join the group, one must have lost a family member to the conflict.
As state-sponsored efforts alone to bring an end to the killing of civilians in the region continue to fail, this event invites us to look through the eyes of grassroots activists whose courage and vision allow us to see the world we want to live in.
At a time when many are seeking power through amplifying fear of difference, the willingness of PCFF members to work together offers a new way of understanding both ourselves and those who do not share our identities, worldviews or experiences.
