Call to Action Regarding Israel and Palestine
Your Script:
My name is [YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME], and I'm a constituent of [REP. OR SEN. NAME]. I'm calling about Palestine and Israel. The Senator/Representative must take immediate steps to deescalate, by calling for a ceasefire, pressuring Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and refusing to send any additional weapons or funding to the Israeli military. I support an immediate ceasefire, along with two thirds of American voters, as found in a recent poll by Data for Progress. I am asking the Senator/Representative to publicly call for a ceasefire. Any more military funding to Israel will fuel violence by arming the Israeli government. This is a genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza. The Senator/Representative must take action now to stop genocide and end all U.S. complicity in Israel's violence.
Your Representative:
