A ceasefire would put a stop to unlawful attacks by all parties, halt
the mounting death toll in Gaza and enable aid agencies to get
life-saving aid, water and medical supplies into the Strip to address
the staggering levels of human suffering.

Never called your elected official before?
Don't be intimidated. We'll talk you through it:
1. If you just want to know how to find who your elected official is
with their email and phone information, and you'll make your plea from
there, click here. Follow the instructions on the page (they ask for your address).
Then a list will pop up for federal, state or local elected officials.
CLICK ON THE + SIGN FOR FEDERAL. The names of your two senators and
your representatives will pop up. Click on the plus sign next to their
names, and you'll find their phone numbers, social media handles and
email.
Call, email, write on their social media pages asking for a ceasefire.
Do it every day.
My name is [YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME], and I'm a constituent of [SENATOR'S NAME]. I'm calling about Palestine and Israel. The senator must
take immediate steps to deescalate, by calling for a ceasefire,
pressuring Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and refusing
to send any additional weapons or funding to the Israeli military. I
am asking the senator to publicly call for a ceasefire along the
lines of the new Ceasefire Now resolution in the House led by Cori
Bush and Rashida Tlaib.
Any more military funding to Israel will further fuel violence
by actively arming the Israeli government. This is a genocide. The
senator must take action now to stop Israel's genocide against
Palestinian people in Gaza and end all U.S. complicity in Israel's
violence.
SCRIPT 2 FOR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES:
My name is [YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME], and I'm a constituent of [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME]. I'm calling about Palestine and Israel. The representative must
take immediate steps to deescalate, by calling for a ceasefire,
pressuring Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and refusing
to send any additional weapons or funding to the Israeli military.
This is a genocide. The representative must take action now to stop
Israel's genocide against Palestinian people in Gaza and end all
U.S. complicity in Israel's violence.
3. If you'd like to avail U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Right's search
tool for your elected senators and representatives, click here. You can opt out of their emails if you want by clicking on the
three boxes at the bottom of their page to opt out.
4. You can also sign Change.org's petition for a ceasefire in Gaza, by
clicking here.
5. If you're in the United Kingdom or abroad, read Amnesty International's plea for a ceasefire and sign their petition. There is a section on the right where you
can enter your information (and opt out of Amnesty emails if you want)
and click on the "take action now" yellow button to sign the petition.
6. Keep protesting and raising your voice for a ceasefire. There are
protests happening everywhere. In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands
showed up and demanded a ceasefire in London. Jewish protestors took
over Grand Central Station in New York demanding a ceasefire. Hundreds
of thousands marched in Washington, D.C. We see you, and the more you
show up, the more you're heard.
We all have a part to play. We must continue to pray, and we can ask
our elected officials to do what needs to be done.
