PDF Print E-mail

As we mark the passage of one year since Israel unleashed its deadly military campaign - Operation Cast Lead - AMP wants everyone to know that we stand with the people of Gaza. To commemorate this dark anniversary, AMP has planned a number of action items and events across the country. Support the Palestinians of Gaza by taking action.

  • Posting relevant links about Palestinian issues on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.
  • Telephoning Gazans on Dec. 27, by using this method: Call 011.97282 + 6 digits. This is the prefix for land lines in Gaza. Dial the first 8 numbers listed above then add 6 digits of your choosing. That should connect you to a family in Gaza. If you don’t get connected at first, try with a different combination of 6 digits. Once you reach a family, introduce yourself and relay a message of support, reaffirming to the family that their brothers and sisters in the United States have not forgotten them and that we are speaking up on their behalf.
  • Contacting members of Congress and ask them to demand Israel lift the siege on Gaza. Find your member of Congress by clicking on this link: http://capwiz.com/adc/directory/congdir.tt
