Dear John,

As we continue our calls for protections of the people of Palestine, we must also empower our communities with the knowledge necessary to organize effectively and safely.

You will be provided with call scripts, sample letters, and other resources necessary to boost awareness of the on going genocide in Gaza to community members, elected officials, and across social media platforms.
