The movement’s “Righteousness Hotline” acts as a watchdog with an educational aspect. Any citizen who encounters immoral governmental behavior can call to report it and request assistance.
The “Righteousness Hotline” is a unique project, staffed by law students from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Herzeliya Interdisciplinary Center, College of Management in Rishon-Le-Zion, and Sha’arei Mishpat College in Hod Hasharon. They work with members of the movement’s legal staff and lawyer volunteers.
The “Righteousness Hotline” exposes the students to the Israeli legal system and gives them an opportunity to become involved in it. The MQG reviews the complaints it receives and directs them to the relevant body for further care – whether it is the Israeli Police Department, State Comptroller or High Court of Justice.
The hotline receives a continuously growing number of complaints. Presently, it receives about 1,000 complaints each year.

Civilians act for change!

The movement was established in March 1990, by a group of civilians who were angered by “The Dirty Trick” affair and grew tired of the degenerate norms of government. After the fall of Yitzhak Shamir’s unity government, members of a certain party changed sides in return for certain guarantees and “grants”.
A law student at the time, current chairman of the MQG attorney Elad Shraga decided to act. He began a personal battle against corruption in Israel, starting with a hunger strike in front of the president’s residence, putting up protest signs and recruiting many others to his cause. He received surprisingly strong support from the public, as well as a great deal of exposure on the media. Within days, his personal protest became a national one, and it gradually grew to become what is known today as the “Movement for Quality of Government in Israel”.
The movement believes that public corruption and the malignant affliction of crony capitalism pose an existential threat. Even great empires have fallen, not after defeat by their enemies, but after moral deterioration that made them crumble from within. The lack of personal accountability and the appalling personal example set by elected officials and executives has a negative effect on national resilience and discourages citizens from tax payment, voluntary army service, and careers in the public sector.
The MQG works under the assumption that the general public is moral, and only the leadership is corrupted. We believe that we must denounce and try to prevent governmental corruption using the legitimate means we have at our disposal in our democratic society: legal action and public activism. We must raise public awareness of the citizens’ ability to help fight corruption and of the power that the public has to condemn and prevent immoral government behaviors. Our power as a movement is the democratic power held by the citizens, whether it is the right to take legal action or the right to civilian organization. Thus, the main idea behind the establishment of the movement is to inform the people, and change the ethical climate in organizations, institutions and the Israeli society in general. We must act to instill a sense of responsibility in elected officials and civil servants, and make sure they remember that they are representatives or the people and must act responsibility and honestly. These actions will constitute the basis of renewed trust between the citizen, elected officials and civil servants.
The aspiration of the MQG is to create a powerful civilian force that will counter the anti-democratic and illegal forces, and an encouraging atmosphere that will support officials and institutions that promote integrity and carry out their job honestly and responsibly.
Our goal is to serve as the “watchdog of democracy”:  Criticism of officials by civilians must be expressed constantly, and unacceptable governmental norms must be denounced. Adherence to the rule of law is a guiding principle for us. Our demand for transparency is not limited to coalition agreements – it extends to the behavior of every official, organization or public institution. Instilling ethical standards in civil servants, protection of those who expose corruption and raising of public awareness to these phenomena of improper behavior are only part of the movement’s activities.
The movement relies today on tens of thousands of members and supporters, and is an apolitical civilian organization. The movement focuses on the struggle against corruption and the demand for public integrity. We believe that nationwide activism goes hand in hand with legal action, and that only a combination of the two has the power to bring about significant changes in governmental systems, decision making processes, resource allocation, election of officials and quality of service to the citizens.

Residents of Regional councils
The movement has recently been focusing its efforts on a municipal project, in Arab regional councils. Through legal action and media publications, the movement has succeeded in raising awareness and demand for proper conduct and integrity. With assistance from volunteers, the movement has also established several municipal monitoring teams, which work closely with our legal department.
This project serves not only as a deterrent and early warning center for corruption at municipal councils, but also as an epicenter of increased civilian involvement, caring and dedication regarding issues of quality of government and quality of life for the local residents.

Youth
Young adults registered as Quality of Government cadets are involved in our activities and are our representatives in their everyday environment. They take part in the effort to improve society and report conduct they deem to be inappropriate. 
Any person taking action to change the current reality for the better, regardless of age, profession or social status, greatly contributes to the process of turning our cities, society and country into a better place.

Movement members
Our many thousands of members and supporters provide a strong financial and civilian home front for our activities. These citizens believe in action, and don’t just sit at home and complain about the grim situation. They greatly contribute to the struggle for change in the Israeli society. 25 thousand civilians have joined our petition to the High Court of Justice demanding the abolition of Tal’s Law!
Throughout our 20 years of existence, hundreds of thousands of citizens and members have joined us in protests, petitions, and the continual struggle for the improvement of the governmental culture in Israel - a struggle that requires many human and financial resources!
