Please contact your senators and congresspeople. Please contact both the president and vice president. This is the one action we can do besides protesting and I truly hope anyone reading this will take action. Do not stay silent in this moment, speak from your heart and help. In your emails and calls, please remain civil because the message will not be received if it is sent in anger. I emailed President Biden’s office yesterday and am in the process of calling my senators and congresspeople.
Let your elected officials know that if the US government does not halt these bombings and killings against the Palestinian citizens of Gaza, that they are complicit in the war crimes and thus breaking the Geneva Convention and International Law. In my email to the president I stated that the US government and the Israeli government are both implying that all the citizens of Gaza are Hamas, which they are NOT. The citizens of Gaza are not Hamas, that is a terrorist cell within, but to state that all the Palestinians are Hamas is not just illogical and a falsehood, and an evil justification for genocide. Make sure in your calls or email to include that your vote depends on supporting the Palestinian people of Gaza and that money donated for both party and individual elections will be affected if they do not stop the atrocities in Palestine. Ask for a complete ceasefire and peace talks. They have the power to do so. You have the power of your voice, your vote, and your money. Use it! We can stand strong together for humanity.
UPDATE:
10/15/23
For ease, I put this bullet list together to use when emailing or calling your representatives. Please ask for:
An immediate ceasefire in Gaza
Immediate and continuous access to- food, electricity, water, and humanitarian organizations in Gaza and the West Bank
Immediate opening of the Rafah border to all Palestinians
For protections of hospitals, healthcare workers, and journalists
Do not forget to remind them that your vote and money is attached to their response and actions.
