Contacting Representatives

Contacting your representatives brings your concerns directly to those who can influence policy and make tangible changes. It's a crucial step in advocating for human rights and seeking an end to the ongoing crisis.

• Ceasefire Today

  Information for emailing, calling, protesting, petitions, and more can be found here. This site includes information for the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

• 5 Calls

  Calling your congressperson is the most effective way to influence policy. This is what inspired 5 Calls, a 501(c)4 non-profit that makes this process easier by finding your representatives' contact information and providing a script for your phone call.

• faxZERO

  If you'd prefer to contact your representative by fax, faxZERO is a service that allows 5 free faxes a day.

Boycotting

Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. They have created a boycott list as shown below:

• Consumer boycott targets

  The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands carefully selected due to the company's proven record of complicity in Israeli apartheid.

• Divestment targets

  The BDS movement is pressuring governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from as many complicit companies as practical, especially weapons manufacturers, banks, and companies listed in the UN database of business involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, as well as the WhoProfits and AFSC Investigate databases of companies enabling the occupation.

• Pressure (non-boycott) targets

  The BDS movement actively calls for pressure campaigns against these brands and services due to their complicity in Israeli apartheid. We have not, on strategic grounds, called for a boycott of these brands and services, instead we strategically call on supporters and institutions to mount other forms of pressure on them until they end their complicity in Israeli apartheid.

• Organic boycott targets

  The BDS movement did not initiate these grassroots boycott campaigns but is in support of them due to these brands openly supporting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
