Tell Congress: Ceasefire in Gaza Now - Open a Pathway to Humanitarian Aid
URGENT ACTION TO CONGRESS:
We’re witnessing an active genocide in Gaza.
We need a ceasefire.
Reps. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are calling for just that.
Tell your Member of Congress to cosponsor H.Res.786 now.
Tell your Senators to call for a Ceasefire NOW.
Israel, which has one of the most powerful militaries in the world,¹ has reportedly killed more than 10,700 Palestinians in Gaza and is continuing airstrikes and a ground invasion forcing over one million men, women, and children in the north to move south under threat of death.²
Under blockade and siege for 16 years, the 2.2 million people of Gaza are captives –– enduring without access to water, food, electricity, and fuel.
The situation is dire and deteriorating by the hour. As of Nov. 8, according to the UN, over 10,000 people have been killed in retaliatory strikes from Israel.
We need urgent action now to prevent more loss of precious human life. Members of Congress and the Administration need to call for an immediate ceasefire.
If we treasure human life, we have an urgent and moral obligation to act now to save the lives of those rendered homeless by bombing campaigns – now denied food, water, electricity to power hospitals, and even the most basic humanitarian aid. This is a humanitarian catastrophe.
We need a ceasefire.
TELL CONGRESS RIGHT NOW:
We need an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to stop the loss of life and allow humanitarian aid, medical attention, food, and water.
