Around the world: Take Action

Call ScriptMy name is (YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME), and I'm a constituent of (REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME). I'm contacting (REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME) about the horrific violence occurring in Gaza and across Israel/Palestine. Thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed by the Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza. (REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME) must work to end our government's complicity in this genocide and de-escalate the situation by calling for a ceasefire, pressuring Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and refusing to send any additional support to the Israeli military. My future vote and support in the next election depends on (REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME) taking action on this matter.

USA: Palestinian Solidarity Organizations

Below is a list of just some of the many US-based organizations mobilizing people to take action for Palestinian rights right now. See further below for Jewish organizations, as well as groups in Israel/Palestine.

Jewish Anti-Apartheid Organizations

Jewish and Joint Groups within Israel

If you live in what is often referred to as "48", or within the "green line," consider joining one of these organizations working to create a just future for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Amplify Palestinian Voices on Social Media

Follow and amplify these accounts to stay updated on what's happening across Palestine and spread the word to your networks. Palestinians face severe censorship for advocating for their own freedom, so it's critical that we amplify their voices across social media.From Gaza
