SUMMARY:Letters for Gaza
DESCRIPTION:\nCMEP and our broad coalition of partners invite you to join our collective Letters for Gaza campaign.\nIn Gaza, the situation is beyond urgent as casualties continually increase. According to Gaza’s health authorities, more than 16,000 children have been killed since October 7th. That’s one child every 40 minutes. Children are dying not just from bombs and air raids but also from dehydration and hunger.\nThe UN estimated that 500 trucks of aid are needed daily to meet basic needs. After an 11-week aid embargo, a small trickle of aid has crossed over. The new Israeli and US-backed aid plan, GHF, has resulted in chaos. The American Security Contractors in charge aim to feed over 1 million people through only 4 distribution sites. This is a sharp departure from the over 400 aid distribution sites run by the UN. GHF has successfully distributed only 500,000 meals each day for a population of over 2 million, amounting to less than 1 meal every 4 days. Furthermore, GHF aid packs do not contain vital resources such as hygiene kits, water purification systems, and medical aid. The risk of starvation is imminent.\nTake Action on July 15th:\n\nWrite a letter. Grab fresh paper. Pour your outrage into a handwritten letter to your members of Congress.\nMultiply your impact. Ask your pastor, rabbi, imam, or community leader to host a letter-writing gathering the weekend of June 15th.\nShow the world. Snap a photo as you write or mail your letter. Or better yet, record a video with your letter in hand and tell the world why you refuse to look away. You can email your photo/video to office@afcfp.org or post with #LettersforGaza and tag us on social media to help amplify the call.\n\nTHEN \nJoin CMEP and our coalition members on June 16th to Fast for Freedom ( https://cmep.org/cmep-events/fast-for-freedom/ )\n\nPledge to Write a Letter\n\n
