John,
Thousands of Palestinian civilians have now been killed by Israeli military strikes since October 7th, with the number growing by the day.1
The number of lives lost or changed forever is only expected to climb further — as Israeli military forces intensify attacks ahead of a ground invasion that could be potentially even deadlier.
We’re calling on members of Congress to join the call for a ceasefire and stop further escalation from costing the lives of more civilians.
Will you join our National Phonebank For A Ceasefire Now! this Wednesday, October 25th at 2PM to urge your member of Congress to demand a swift de-escalation and a ceasefire now? Every call makes a difference, and by reaching out, we can help save lives affected by this devastating war.

Right now, the role of the United States should be to use diplomacy to work toward peace, not fan the flames of violence.
Immediately, that means pushing for a ceasefire and de-escalation.
Americans have learned the lessons of 9/11. Cynical political leaders leveraged the collective grief of our nation to launch wars that left many innocent people dead and gave rise to more extremism and violence. More than twenty years later — can we say anyone is any safer because of it?
There is no military solution to this conflict, and there never has been.
Join our National Phonebank For A Ceasefire Now! this Wednesday, October 25th at 2PM to tell Congress they need to act now to demand a swift de-escalation and a ceasefire now.
In solidarity,
Working Families Party
