The people of Gaza desperately need your help. And they need it now.
Israeli human rights groups have asked each and every one of us to help them focus international attention on the deteriorating human rights crisis in Gaza. A month of actions will culminate on December 2 with almost 100 demonstrations across the world. Just the threat of international protests helped pressure Israel to call a cease-fire last week, but the siege continues.
1. Sign the international petition now. Israeli groups will present your signature, along with thousands of others, to Israeli officials next week.

2. Join a local demonstration on December 2 near you. JVP chapters are sponsoring activities in many US cities. http://gazasiege.net/partners.html
3. Contact Congress and tell them to suspend US military aid to Israel until they end the siege. http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/jvfp/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=5866
Peace,
