Did you take action for our brothers and sisters in Palestine today?

  1. Now more than ever you need to pick up your phone and make the call to your elected representatives in Congress - Tell them to stop the ongoing genocide of innocent Palestinian people in Gaza by supporting a ceasefire! 

There can be no more business as usual until there is a permanent ceasefire 

As a reminder, here are the phone numbers of Delaware's Senators:

Senator Tom Carper: (202) 224-2441

Senator Chris Coons: (202) 224-5042

Calling Script:

“Hi, my name is [Your Name] from zip code [your zip code] and I am requesting [Representative Name] to 

  1. call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza

  2. do more to get humanitarian aid into Gaza   

  3. And to stop sending our tax dollars/weapons to Israel to continue its genocide

Thank you”

  1. Need more support to do step 1? 

Please sign up to join the WhatsApp group (link below) that is dedicated to keeping you motivated to keep calling - the results have been amazing - we are up to 72 members of  Congress who are supporting a ceasefire! We are averaging 150 calls per day but with your help we can get to a much higher number In Shaa'Allah.
