Venue: H.B. duPont Plaza

We are holding a vigil on Wednesday, May 15th as we gather to commemorate the Nakba and mourn the loss of precious Palestinians lives, the widespread destruction, pain, sorrow and suffering in Gaza. At the same time the West Bank and East Jerusalem are undergoing violence, deaths and loss of land through apartheid.

There is power in our communities coming together to lament this human tragedy. Let’s show our fervent presence of spirit to honor the Palestinians.

Please join Sheikh Hadi and other community members for this important event.

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 call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. I also ask that we allow for more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.”

  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.
