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]
