Day of Action: Restore Aid to Palestine

February 9, 2021 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

The first event in our CMEP Journeys programming is a Day of Action calling on the Biden Administration to restore US funding to UNRWA and bilateral assistance to humanitarian programs in the West Bank and Gaza. The Biden Administration has affirmed its plan to reinstate this aid, but we need to raise our voices now to ensure they move beyond words and take swift action to reinstate this critical aid.

We aim to get the Biden Administration’s attention with a unified focus on tweets calling on them to reinstate funding to UNRWA and bilateral assistance as soon as possible. There will also be an Action Alert for people who do not have Twitter available on Tuesday, February 9.

Let us know if you will #CMEPRaiseYourVoice with us!

Then Follow CMEP on Twitter Today!

Join CMEP on Twitter as we call on the Biden Administration to restore aid on Tuesday, February 9, from 1-2 pm EST! Please make sure to tag @POTUS, @VP in all your tweets and use #CMEPRaiseYourVoice.

Under Trump Admin, U.S. ended assistance to the West Bank, Gaza and all funding to @UNRWA – agency providing emergency medical, food, and educational services to over 5 million Palestinian refugees. @POTUS @VP we call on you to restore that aid immediately! #CMEPRaiseYourVoice
