Call on Congress to Demand an IMMEDIATE Ceasefire in Gaza

Dear Email,

We must come together and collectively pressure our elected officials to take a moral stand. Take action and tell your Members of Congress to do the following: 

  • Publicly call for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and suffering. 
  • Halt weapons shipments to Israel as long as it continues to violate its obligations under international and U.S. laws.
  • Prioritize the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.
  • NOT to cosponsor the McCaul/Meeks resolution, which dehumanizes Palestinians by blaming innocent people for Israel’s actions and fails to express concern over Palestinian deaths. 

On Sunday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that the United States is sending The USS Gerald R. Ford accompanied by cruisers and destroyers. The United States is enhancing its air force squadrons' presence in the region. Austin added that the Biden administration “will rapidly provide” the Israeli Military with additional equipment and resources, including munitions, expected to arrive this early week.

For 75 years, Palestinians have been seeking justice from the United Nations. For 75 years, the world has been failing them. For three decades, the United States has been giving them promises about their right to live in a contiguous, sovereign state in which Palestinians live in freedom and dignity. But none of these promises were ever fulfilled. Instead, millions of Palestinians who have been displaced since 1948 are still prohibited from returning to them or visiting their homeland. The ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel is still ongoing. The brutal crimes Israel commits against Palestinians never come to an end. 

The United States has the opportunity and the moral responsibility to act swiftly and decisively. We must place as much pressure as possible on our elected officials for them to urge an end to Israel’s violent bombing campaign of Gaza and immediate removal of the blockade. 

Please email and call your Member of Congress using our action tool and urge your friends and family to do the same. 

Thank you for taking action for Palestine. 

Sincerely,

Ayah Ziyadeh
