      Israel 2050 is a civil movement that acts to improve the democracy and socio-economic reality in Israel by empowering civic participation, impact, and responsibility in the democratic system. It believes that a conscious and active civil society can change the current situation where public representatives work to fulfill mostly the needs of small interest groups and not those of the general public.תנועת ישראל 2050 פועלת לשיפור המציאות החברתית–כלכלית בישראל ע“י חיזוק המעורבות והאחריות האזרחית במערכת הדמוקרטית. היא מאמינה שחברה אזרחית מודעת, פעילה ומשפיעה על משרתי הציבור, בצורה חכמה וממוקדת, תוכל לשנות את המצב הנוכחי שבו משרתי הציבור פועלים בעיקר למען הצרכים של קבוצות אינטרס ולא למען הצרכים של הציבור הרחב.
