Mission: Partners for Progressive Israel (formerly Meretz USA) is a progressive American Zionist non-profit organization, dedicated to two essential goals: 1. The achievement of a durable and just peace between Israel and all its neighbors, especially the Palestinian people, based on a negotiated two-state solution. 2. The realization of human and civil rights, equality and social justice, and environmental sustainability, for all of Israel's inhabitants. Partners for Progressive Israel, through its projects, encourages American Jews to develop a direct, personal involvement with Israel, in particular through involvement with the country's progressive groups. Partners for Progressive Israel also strengthens these ties in the United States by offering educational events, in-depth analysis of developments in Israel, forums for discussion of these developments, and avenues for supporting Israeli groups working to advance our goals.
