Dear John,

Today is our day of action, “NO Tax Dollars for War Crimes!” As of Nov. 10, more than 11,500 Palestinians—including over 4,500 children—have been killed in Israeli bombings and ground attacks on Gaza in recent weeks. In communities around the U.S., people are visiting the local offices of their senators and representatives to demand an immediate cease-fire for Gaza and an end to U.S. military funding for Israel. Visit our website to see if there’s an event in your area.

If you’re not able to attend an event, here are more ways you can take part in our day of action:

Contact your members of Congress: Urge them to call for a cease-fire and humanitarian access for Gaza.
Join our AFSC Action Hour for a Cease-fire Now (Fridays, 12 noon ET, 9 a.m. PT): Every week, we’ll share updates from our staff in Gaza and what’s going on in Congress. Then, we’ll take action by calling and writing to our elected officials.
Spread the word on social media: Share this post on Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter) and urge others to join you in speaking out today.
Download and display our posters for Palestine: Get our free posters to take with you to protests or display in front of your home, congregations, organization, or in your community.

Thank you again for taking action with AFSC and people across the country!
