Suggestions for Action on Gaza |
|
|
Page submitted by Laura Tillem on Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 11:08pm |
|
1) Critical Contact and Situation Information (ACTION REQUESTED)
OVERALL ACTION REQUESTED:
1) Be sure and be polite when talking with Obama's and
Congressional offices.
2) Call your Representative and Senators (see Item 1 for
contact information), ask to speak to the foreign aid staffer, and
express concern about the previous and continuing economic blockades
of Gaza and the West Bank.
3) Emphasize the impact on children -- Palestinian, Israeli,
and others around the world.
4) Put together a list of local and state groups that support
our position for presentation to Members of Congress. Numbers do
matter in having your voice heard by Congress.
5) Write a local "Letter to the Editor" and, if published,
send a copy to your Members of Congress. Heck, send it even if it's
not published.
6) Call local "talk radio" to discuss the issue.
President Obama
The new Obama website is: www.whitehouse.gov (has a nice ring to it, no?)

All postal mail should now be sent to:

facing the new administration, then rate or comment on other ideas.

to be delivered to President Obama after he is sworn in.

From: US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation:
To help your local efforts, we have created a new fact sheet (
http://www.endtheoccupation.org/downloads/gaza_us_weapons.pdf) dealing
with U.S. complicity in the Gaza crisis.
In addition to our website, listing actions to be taken to aid the
people of Gaza and our continuously updated calendar of protests and
vigils ( http://www.endtheoccupation.org/article.php?id=1773), we also
want to alert everyone to GazaSiege.org. GazaSiege is a website
acting as a clearinghouse for news, analysis, and action on the
current crisis in Gaza. This is a great site to consult when writing
op-eds, letters to the editor, or before calling your Members of
Congress.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has developed on
online Gaza Crisis Resource Center at http://www.adc.org .
