Urgent Actions
Worldwide: Thank Canada for Stopping Arm Sales to Israel
This week, Canada’s Parliament passed a non-binding motion to end arms sales to Israel. It is now up to the government to support that ban. However, it is not yet certain that much of the ban will be enforced. Read Truthout’s “Here’s What Canada’s Vote to End Arms Sales to Israel Means for Antiwar Effort” for details: https://truthout.org/articles/heres-what-canadas-vote-to-end-arms-sales-to-israel-means-for-antiwar-effort/
Please thank Canada’s Parliament for this action and encourage other governments to do the same by sharing supportive messages and the image below.
US: Demand the U.S. stops blocking a ceasefire resolution

Use this email template from FOSNA to continue contacting your representatives, demanding an immediate ceasefire and increased humanitarian assistance.
