Our elected officials are feeling the force of our advocacy, and we can’t stop Dear Email, I hope this message finds you well. Yesterday, AMP and AJP Action spearheaded an impactful event with over 200 concerned constituents from the DMV area, urging Members of Congress to address the alarming situation in Gaza. Despite nearly five weeks of indiscriminate bombing and war crimes committed by Israel on Palestinians, not a single representative from the DMV had publicly called for a ceasefire. Our DMV Advocacy Day was marked by powerful and emotional meetings with key offices, leaving attendees reenergized to persist in our advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and at every level of government for Palestine. We had discussions with high-level staff and direct conversations with Members of Congress, such as Congressman Beyer. Constituents engaged in a fruitful dialogue with him, addressing concerns and exploring avenues to bridge the gap in his support for a ceasefire. It was evident that our collective pressure was making a significant impact.  The landscape of American public opinion has undergone an unprecedented shift, resulting in heightened pressure on elected officials and their staff to address the rights of Palestinians. This marks a historic moment in U.S. Palestinian advocacy, with offices experiencing greater scrutiny than ever. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we maintain this momentum. We must continue leveraging our rights as American constituents to amplify our voices, ensuring that our tax dollars cease to fund actions that amount to genocide. Our objective is clear: to work towards a fundamental shift in the U.S. government's stance on Israel, dismantling the longstanding support for actions that perpetuate and enable genocide, occupation, and settler colonialism. Please join us in the continued critical effort of advocacy. Together, we can wield our collective influence to bring about substantive change and ensure that our elected representatives stand for justice and liberation for Palestinians. |
