On the evening of Wednesday February 7th, two American citizens in Gaza were taken hostage by Israeli forces. Borak Alagha, 18, and Hashem Alagha, 20, two brothers born in the Chicago area, were taken hostage along with their father, Ahmed Alagha and uncle Maen Alagha, who suffers from a severe mental disability.

It is urgent that you contact your congressional representatives today and demand the safe release hostages taken by Israel! Please help our partners in the Colorado Palestine Coalition by emailing and calling your congressional representative and by spreading the message to friends and family!
