John,

For three days in a row, Israeli forces opened fire at aid distribution sites in Gaza, killing dozens. Entire families are being wiped out in an instant as bombs fall from the sky. 50,000 children are dead. And Europe – Israel's #1 trade partner – is helping fund the horrors.

It stops now.

Pressure is mounting on the EU to suspend its trade agreement with the Israeli government. Public outrage is building and EU foreign ministers are set to meet in days, but they’ll only act if we overwhelm them with a clear, unified message: stop bankrolling the horrors in Gaza, NOW.

So here’s the plan: if enough of us chip in today, we could launch urgent public polling in key EU countries to prove voters want action – then use those results to flood ministers with ads, op-eds, and direct pressure they can’t ignore. Together we can make the cost of inaction politically impossible and finally end the genocide.

The next ministers meeting is on June 23 so we don’t have much time. Can you rush an urgent donation to help us stop the horrors in Gaza?

One thing is perfectly clear: in recent months, the Israeli government has doubled down on its genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign. For 11 weeks, it refused to allow aid supplies into Gaza, pushing 2.1 million people closer to starvation. Now, as tiny amounts of aid are allowed to trickle in, aid distribution has become a death trap. Scores have been injured and killed while trying desperately to find food for their families. 

The only way we can stop the violence is to raise the stakes for the Israeli government – and one key way the EU can do that is through its trade agreement.

Our pressure is working! After nearly 150,000 of us signed the petition and flooded EU officials with messages on social media,  the EU Council on Foreign Affairs agreed to review the EU-Israel Association Agreement!

Now we need to keep up the pressure and make sure Foreign Ministers feel overwhelming pressure to suspend trade with the Israeli government.  We urgently need funds to run polls in key countries. Then we’ll use the results to overwhelm our leaders with our message – taking out ads targeting key EU capitals and staging urgent in-person actions to flood EU leaders with public pressure.

It is LONG past time the EU acts. It has suspended agreements with 15 countries due to human rights violations over the years – and now it’s time for it to do it again. Will you stand with us and help push the EU to suspend its trade agreement with Israel – and secure a more just world for all?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

For years our community has been advocating for an end to Israeli apartheid. From Ben and Jerry's to AXA, we've successfully pressured some of the world's biggest brands and financial institutions to stop investing in the illegal occupation. Let's do it again, and make sure the EU upholds its own standards when it comes to Israel's war crimes.
