STOP THE VIOLENCE AND PROTECT CIVILIANS

Violence can never bring about lasting peace and security. International pressure is desperately needed. Please keep up the momentum to show leaders that the public wants peace, not a pause.

Even if you have already written, take a moment to urge your elected representatives to do everything in their power to end the violence and protect civilians.

Dear [elected representative / faith leader],

I am writing as your constituent / congregant to ask you to take urgent action to help end the occupation of Palestine and bring about a just peace for all Palestinians and Israelis. I recently read the eyewitness account in the link below which describes the everyday situation facing Palestinians living under military occupation. I believe we all have a duty to speak up when we learn about violations of human rights. I hope that you will use your position to speak up too.

[You could add here some of your own comments or explain the story briefly and what particularly moved you about it].

[include here a link to the story]

I ask that you write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs / head of the faith denomination raising my concerns and asking what proactive action they will take to help bring about a just peace.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name and address – elected representatives are only obliged to reply to members of their own constituency]
