Script:

My name is [YOUR FIRST & LAST NAME], and I'm a constituent of [COUNCIL MEMBER’S NAME]. I'm calling about Palestine and Israel. The Council Member must take immediate steps to deescalate, by calling for 1) a total and permanent ceasefire, 2) humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza, including reinstating funding to UNRWA, 3) an end to Israel's siege on Gaza, and 4) no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military. I support a permanent ceasefire, along with 66 Congressmembers, including representative Payne, and 61% of American voters. I'm urgently asking the council member to call for a permanent ceasefire. This is a genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza. The council member must take action now to stop genocide and end all U.S. complicity in Israel's violence.
