I know that many people want to help with what's going on in Gaza and don't know how to help. Many people already have this information but many don't. <br><br>I am no activist or expert but the information I am getting is that the most important thing we can do right now is call our senators and representatives. <br><br>Jewish Voice For Peace has created <a href="https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/call-congress-support-ceasefire/">a tool</a> to help make it easier to make calls to senators and representatives. <br><br>The USCPR (US Campaign For Palestinian Rights) is also suggesting that we call our senators and representatives.<br><br>The USCPR has also created <a href="http://bit.ly/stopgazagenocide">a toolkit</a>. <br><br>Jewish Voice For Peace has been posting lots of information about protests that have been going on. NPR's Up First and NYT's The Daily on 10/16 had really good explanations of some of what's going on in addition to the coverage on MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, etc. <br><br>If someone is afraid of phone calls, if they call after hours and leave a message, they should still get counted! <br><br>If anyone wants to take me up on this, anyone who calls or spreads the word can ask me to call or spread the word for something for them!<br><br>I hear that churches can't support political candidates but can support pieces of legislation and take ethical stances and both JVP and the USPCR align with the UUA statement on Palestine. <br><br>This is just in case anyone needs this information or if your newsletter timing and policy allows you to put some of this information, maybe just the names of the organizations, in one of your newsletters and you're okay with doing so. <br><br><br></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br /><table style="border-top: 1px solid #D3D4DE;"><tr><td style="width: 55px; padding-top: 13px;"><a href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient" target="_blank"><img src="https://s-install.avcdn.net/ipm/preview/icons/icon-envelope-tick-green-avg-v1.png" alt="" width="46" height="29" style="width: 46px; height: 29px;"/></a></td><td style="width: 470px; padding-top: 12px; color: #41424e; font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Virus-free.<a href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient" target="_blank" style="color: #4453ea;">www.avg.com</a></td></tr></table><a href="#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2" width="1" height="1"> </a></div></body></html>
