in the 34th World Zionist Congress
LZA Needs Your Vote!
The World Zionist Congress elections will soon be upon us in February, 2002. Since the Congress four years earlier, our movement is stronger, alumni have been mobilized, and Labor has demonstrated its leadership for peace. LZA, Na'amat and Habonim Dror, together as the Labor Zionist slate, will lead the way in shaping the future of Zionism. We need your vote.
The Labor Zionist Alliance is in the forefront of advancing the critical issues facing world Jewry today: peace, pluralism and progress. We will continue to work for peace in the Middle East. We will continue to fight for pluralism and egalitarianism throughout the Jewish community. And we will continue to struggle for progress on the social front — organizing against sweatshops, opposing the exploitation of workers, advocating on behalf of Ethiopian Jewry and other immigrants to Israel, and democratizing the Jewish community.
Labor Zionists support our youth movement, Habonim Dror, at the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency. We fight to ensure that shUchim continue to educate our children and that critical funding continues to support all Zionist youth movements. Indeed, we have experienced great success: in the last sixty-five years, Habonim Dror has been the springboard for Labor Zionist ideology and activism. With twenty one local branches, seven summer camps and numerous pioneering programs in Israel, Habonim Dror cultivates a progressive, deeprooted Jewish and Zionist identity in our youth. In the past year, Habonim Dror members established an urban kibbutz in Jerusalem. This past summer, Habonim's Machaneh Bonim in Israel program had the best participation of any summer Israel program from North America.
The upcoming elections will determine how many delegates LZA will have at the next World Zionist Congress in June, 2002. We must vote for representation to the Congress so that our vision — peace, pluralism, progress, the education of our youth — is actualized.
