Congress should…
Support calls for a ceasefire. They need to put pressure on Biden to stop arming Israel and to call for the pain and death to stop. They will only do so if they hear from you, so call your representative here.
To properly talk about what’s happening in Israel and Palestine is to go back decades. And there’s lots of videos and timelines that can teach you the complicated history of the region, fighting, and displacements — and how it’s rooted in our global system. Right now, the conflict is heightened: tens of thousands of people have been or are being killed, the majority of whom are children. The majority of humanity, including the US population, want a ceasefire, but the deaths and horror continue. And pro-Palestine voices seem to be actively silenced on campuses, in protests, online, and nearly everywhere else, while antisemitism and Islamophobia grows the world over.
Support calls for a ceasefire. They need to put pressure on Biden to stop arming Israel and to call for the pain and death to stop. They will only do so if they hear from you, so call your representative here.
Take action to support a ceasefire and justice for Palestinians. You can help break this cycle of ongoing death and pain. Take action on campus, as part of your union, in the streets, or as part of your faith. You can start by checking out the BDS movement.
