Whether you agree it is genocide or not, please speak up NOW! Call for an immediate ceasefire, for humanitarian assistance to be consistently allowed in as needed, and for new peace talks for real negotiations to end this violence.
Actions you can take:
(1) Phone your Senators, Congresspersons, or members of Parliament and tell them your views, such as: ceasefire NOW, and the resumption of real negotiations for a new peace agreement.
(2) Write to the President, Vice-President, your PM, Senators, Congresspersons, or members of Parliament and tell them your views.
(3) Join the many demonstrations going on everywhere. If there is not one in your town, organize one.
(4) Sit in at the local office or national office of your elected representatives, demanding they vote for a ceasefire now.
(5) Donate funds to the NGO or charity of your choice who are sending emergency assistance. For example, you can contribute to the American Friends Service Committee here: https://secure.afsc.org/a/gazaer?ms=WEB24NB1010PI
OR many other organizations are working on emergency assistance for Gaza, such as the Egyptian Food Bank, UNICEF, ICRC, UNFP, Medical Aid for Palestinians, UNWRA, Islamic Relief, Oxfam, Save the Children, International Orthodox Christian Charities, and many more.” Take an offering at your local church, meeting, or other group and donate the funds.
