Act for Gaza Now!

(As of October 31, 2023)

We urgently ask that you do what you can, when you can, and as often as you can.  Our central message is: Ceasefire Now!  No U.S. Military Aid for Israel’s Attacks on Palestinians!  Humanitarian Aid Now!

Contact Elected Officials/Engage Family and Friends

• Call and email your representatives and demand a ceasefire. Do this daily. Persistence is the name of the game. These links make it very easy. Add your name to them all and do it often:

  • American Friends Service Committee

  • MPower in Action

  • Jewish Voice for Peace

  • Move On

  • US Campaign for Palestinian Rights

  • Action Network

• Email and text all your friends and family, share the links above and ask them to email and call their representatives. Your influence matters.

Make Your Voice Heard

• Attend a rally or protest or vigil. Visit this site to check on protests in your area.

• Consider attending National March on Washington: Free Palestine! Saturday, Nov. 4, 2 PM at Freedom Plaza in Washington DC. This is expected to be a historic march for Palestine, cosponsored by USCPR and other organizations.

• Volunteer to help at a protest; be a marshal or help with logistics.

• Write to the mainstream media and your local papers. You can do letters to the editor (usually 200 words) and/or opinion pieces (700-900 words).

• Drop a banner from a traffic bridge or any other publicly visible location.

Send Humanitarian Aid

• Send direct aid and support for people on the ground through transparent and trustworthy groups. Ones we recommend are:

  • American Friends Service Committee

  • United Nations Relief & Works Agency

  • Palestine Children's Relief Fund

Continue to Learn and Educate Others

• Keep up to date with sources of information that provide both necessary context and ongoing coverage including: Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, Mondoweiss, Electronic Intifada, and 972 Magazine.

• Haymarket Books “believe that books, as tools for education, analysis, combating misinformation, and inspiration, have a vital role to play in the global Palestine solidarity movement”. In that spirit, they’ve made three crucial books free to download. Visit Haymarket Books

• Host a speaker from your community who was in Palestine or is Palestinian to tell personal stories and experiences.
