Take Action: Your Representative Can End Israel's Blockade of Gaza As we approach the one-year commemoration of "Operation Cast Lead," Israel's three-week assault on the occupied Gaza Strip, which killed about 1,400 Palestinians, injured thousands more, and caused billions of dollars of damage to Palestinian civilian infrastructure, Members of Congress are responding to our advocacy work and to the massive change in discourse already underway in the United States, and are beginning to protest against the humanitarian effects of Israel's ongoing blockade of Gaza. Below and to the right are two actions that we are asking you to take to continue pressuring our elected officials to end Israel's illegal blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip. Before Congress goes on its winter recess, scheduled for Friday, December 18, Representatives Jim McDermott and Keith Ellison are seeking signatures on a "Dear Colleague" letter to President Obama which criticizes Israel's blockade of Gaza as "de facto collective punishment" leading to the "unabated suffering of Gazan civilians".

While you're looking at our CDC map, you can also sign up to become a Congressional District Coordinator to help us build a national, grassroots movement to change U.S. policy toward Israel/Palestine to support human rights, international law, and equality. To learn more about and join our CDC network, please click here <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=GRiSlsSBHQAKhHlg6u6I XllZcT9n007i> . During this Congressional winter recess, we're asking our Congressional District Coordinators (CDC's) to set up meetings with their Members of Congress asking them to end U.S. support for Israel's ongoing siege of the occupied Gaza Strip and to hold Israel accountable for its misuse of U.S. weapons before, during, and after "Operation Cast Lead." We'll be having a telephone conference call on Tuesday, December 15, at 9PM Eastern to brief interested people on how to set up meetings with their Members of Congress and on the substantive policy issues to raise with them. To RSVP for the call and to get call-in information, please click here <mailto:[email protected]> .

And don't forget to call your Representative now at 202-224-3121 and ask him/her to sign on to these two "Dear Colleague" letters. These letters will close for signatures this week, so please call now. These "Dear Colleague" letters are positive signs that Members of Congress are concerned about the humanitarian effects of Israel's blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip. While supporting these letters, it is also important to continue to advocate for an end to Israel's blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip, an illegal act of collective punishment. You can do so by setting up a meeting with your Members of Congress during the winter recess.
