How to advocate for a free Palestine

Advocating to Elected Officials

Establishing relationships with your elected officials is the most effective way to communicate the depth of support for a free Palestine among their own constituents.  As developments in the region pose new challenges, Members of Congress should hear how these developments are viewed by their own pro-Palestine constituents.  

Lobby Members at Home. There is no substitute for a Member of Congress hearing from constituents who embody local support for a free Palestine.  Regular visits when Members are home in their Districts and ongoing contact make even a small number of supporters a more visible constituency. Prior to each Congressional recess, contact the District Scheduler of your Senators and Representatives to schedule meetings with the Members to discuss current developments.   

Write Letters.  While a face-to-face meeting is most effective, Congressional staff monitor the number of letters received in support of or in opposition to an issue. Letters on policy issues should be sent to the Member’s Washington office, with a cc to the local District Office.  Increased security procedures have caused delay in mail delivery to Capitol Hill so letters are not the best vehicle for fast-moving legislation.

THEY BELONG IN JAIL.

SENDING THEM LOVE NOTES
IS A CRUEL JOKE ON EVERYONE.
