Here are some actions you can take today to oppose the starvation and genocide Israel is inflicting on Gaza:
Donate to Ashraf’s Campaign
Ashraf Abu Hamda is a 20-year-old aspiring nursing student who has been using money fundraised by CPAC to provide water trucks to the community in Gaza. He has helped more than 1,000 families thus far. Ashraf’s work on the ground in Gaza is extremely important, and we are honored to support him.
You can donate to help Ashraf provide water to families in Gaza here.
Call Your Elected Reps and Demand Aid for Gaza
Call your elected representatives and demand they pressure Isreal to allow aid into Gaza immediately. If you need help finding your reps, you can put your address into the 5 Calls link above, or into this link from Common Cause, which will show you all of your elected representatives.
Join Empty Plates to Empty Cannons
In response to the starvation in Gaza, CPAC has launched an initiative called “Empty Plates to Empty Cannons.” The purpose of this project in solidarity with the Fast for Gaza is to raise awareness of the intentional starvation of people in Gaza, to help raise money for Ashraf’s campaign, and to encourage people to call their representatives and demand aid be let into Gaza. You can commit to a day of the campaign here: Sign up for empty plates to empty cannons.
