1. 🚨TELL CONGRESS: Demand a #CeasefireNOW!

60 members of Congress have called for a ceasefire. We must demand a PERMANENT and lasting ceasefire now.

Support the Ceasefire NOW resolution led by Rep. Cori Bush, and demand that Congress #StopArmingIsrael.

2. TELL GENOCIDE JOE: You Are Complicit in Genocide

Palestinians are suing Biden for enabling genocide. Demand a CEASEFIRE NOW and an end to U.S. military funding to Israel.

TAKE ACTION: uscpr.org/GenocideJoe

3. Shut It Down for Palestine again on Friday, December 8

NO BUSINESS AS USUAL while our U.S. government and complicit corporations enable genocide! Shut it down.

Find protests and resources: shutitdown4palestine.org.

4. Organize Your Own Protest

Organize a protest to call out your elected officials and complicit corporations. Hold a sit-in, shutdown, pray-in, or birddog based on recent examples.

Use our new Strategies to Shut It Down toolkit.

5. Find more protests: uscpr.org/protests


Find a protest near you. Text and invite all your friends. Ask everyone in attendance to complete one of the above action tools on the spot. Print protest signs to take along.

These protest signs are free to use. You’ll find USCPR protest signs, as well as signs by artists who’ve granted their permission for printing them for protests. Also see the protest art collection bit.ly/Pal-Art.

Your voice matters. It’s extremely important to pressure Congress to stop the killing. Thank you for taking action with me.

7. Pressure your members of Congress on social media

Has your Congressmember called for a ceasefire yet? Check here. 

If not, copy/paste this message, inserting their social media handle.

Hi [@handle]: As your constituent, I’m urging you to demand a #CeasefireNOW


Palestinians in Gaza are living through genocide as Israel bombs, starves, and displaces them. Their lives are on the line with every passing second

Stop the killing! Speak up now!

8. Sign up for action alert texts

Make sure you’re plugged in to the most critical updates in real time. With so much censorship on social media, getting texts sent directly to your phone is the fastest way to find out about new action alerts.


Sign up at uscpr.org/SMSactions.

9. Look up: How much of your community’s tax dollars fund Israel’s violence?

Every year, the U.S. government writes Israel a blank check for at least $3.8 billion. With your federal U.S. tax dollars, the Israeli military is bombing Gaza and wiping out entire Palestinian families right now.

Find out how much people in your city pay, and what could be funded instead, on the U.S. Military Funding to Israel map. Demand that Congress #StopArmingIsrael.

See the map at uscpr.org/MilitaryFunding.

10. Boycott, Divestment, & Sanctions (BDS)

Modeled after anti-apartheid organizing in South Africa, BDS tactics are a time-honored strategy to achieve Palestinian rights. See this updated graphic on complicit companies to boycott. Read more.

BDS resources: Download BDS stickers to print and BDS flyers to wheatpaste around your neighborhood. Find stickers and flyers here.
