FWD: Re: NEW EMERGENCY ACTION: Gaza Ceasefire NOW Resolution

As salaamu alaykum, Indiana—

I wanted to ensure you saw Linda's email yesterday, urging you to write to your Member of Congress to cosponsor the Ceasefire NOW Resolution.

We need a ceasefire in Gaza now and a humanitarian corridor for aid.

The resolution is led by Reps. Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Andre Carson, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez; and cosponsored by Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Chuy Garcia, Jonathan Jackson, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Nydia Velazquez.

Help us get to 12,000 emails to Congress now, Indiana.

Every House member should join the Ceasefire NOW Resolution — and say no to complicity in genocide and the killing of countless civilians.

-Yasmine

P.S. I've forwarded Linda's original email below.

Subject: NEW EMERGENCY ACTION: Gaza Ceasefire NOW Resolution

As salaamu alaykum, Indiana —

We're witnessing an active genocide in Gaza.

Israel demanded 1.1 million Gazans in the north to immediately evacuate south. The UN says that is impossible.

We need a ceasefire now and a humanitarian corridor for aid.

Reps. Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, and André Carson, are calling for just that.

Tell your Member of Congress to join them now.

Please, Indiana:

TELL CONGRESS RIGHT NOW:

We need an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to stop the loss of life and to allow humanitarian aid, medical attention, food, and water.

Over 2 million people are trapped in Gaza. Nearly half of them are children. They have no way out.

This is nothing short of genocide committed by one of the world's most powerful militaries with the ongoing support of our administration.

The resolution led by Reps. Bush, Tlaib, and Carson calls for an immediate ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.

Members of Congress need to use their voices and power to speak out against this humanitarian catastrophe.

But they will not if they do not hear from us.

Email. Congress. Now.

In solidarity,

Linda, Yasmine, and the team at MPower Action
