Tell Jared Huffman: Cosponsor the "Ceasefire Now" Resolution to Save Innocent Lives in Gaza
Representative Jared Huffman
A ceasefire would put a stop to unlawful attacks by all parties, halt the mounting death toll in Gaza and enable aid agencies to get life-saving aid, water and medical supplies into the Strip to address the staggering levels of human suffering. It will also allow hospitals to receive life-saving medicines, fuel and equipment they desperately need and to repair damaged wards.
A ceasefire would also provide opportunities to negotiate the release of hostages detained in Gaza and for independent international investigations to take place into the war crimes committed by all parties in order to end long-standing impunity, which will continue to breed further atrocities. Tackling the root causes of this conflict, by dismantling Israel’s system of apartheid imposed on Palestinians is now more urgent than ever.

[Your Name]
We are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people in front of our eyes. Since October 7th, over 17,000 Palestinian lives—including over 7,000 children—have been killed by Israeli airstrikes, and the number is still climbing. Entire family trees have been extinguished. Israel has cut off access to water and electricity, and prevented humanitarian aid from reaching the 2 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, creating a crisis of untold suffering.
We demand that you, as our elected representative in Congress and a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, cosponsor Representative Cori Bush and Representative Rashida Tlaib's Ceasefire Now resolution, which calls for an end to the violence in Israel and Occupied Palestine. There is nothing 'progressive' about sitting on the sidelines and abetting a genocide, and your constituents will be watching your response closely. Do the right thing, and call for a ceasefire.
