The Alliance for Middle East Peace (ALLMEP)

Avi Meyerstein '96, founder of ALLMEP, spoke to our seniors as part of their Israel Speaker Series.  

Avi began a pro bono initiative at his then-law firm, Patton Boggs, LLP, to organize Israeli-Palestinian people-to-people organizations so they could work together to raise awareness about their work and increase resources for it. After organizing an initial meeting of 12 organizations in Washington in 2004, he proposed establishing an ongoing coalition, which became ALLMEP.
 
Since ALLMEP’s efforts began, the U.S. has injected over $90 million to Israeli-Palestinian cooperation and a total of $230 million to reconciliation programs worldwide. Avi is also a partner at the law firm of Husch Blackwell, LLP in Washington, DC. He and his wife, Dana Lande, first met and started dating as sophomores at the Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community High School. He and Dana live in Rockvile, Maryland with their three daughters, Ellie, Noa, and Lilah.
