Dear Friend
Our many letters and contacts with the Government of Canada over the past months have shown some signs of effect. On May 20, Prime Minister Carney said in a statement that “if Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.” (See full statement here)
Let's hold him to that commitment! Now is the time to keep the pressure on. Please write again using one of the options for taking action below. What would boost our impact even more is to have those who have not yet written send a message, saying they agree with the Canadian government's assessment that "the level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable" and urging the Prime Minister to make good on his promise to take action.
Attached are templates of a message to Prime Minster Carney. You can use these to send your own message. More importantly, can you think of 10 people you know, who are concerned about what is happening in Gaza but have not yet contacted the Government of Canada? Please reach out to them today and invite them to send a message by mail. We purposely made the message simple and supportive, to appeal to as wide a spectrum of folks as possible.
Actions:
1. Click here to print attached file double sided, cut off one message, sign it, place it in an envelope, and address it to:
Office of the Prime Minister, 80 Wellington Street, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2. Mail it off, no postage needed.
2. Send a message to friends, family, neighbours, church, and community acquaintances. Invite those new to raising their voices to use attached file 1 to send a message to the Canadian government. Make it a personal appeal. Follow up with a text or phone call!
3. Print up extras of the mailing template and take them to friends, family, neighbours, church, and community gatherings. Invite those new to raising their voices to take part in this campaign. The file has multiple copies of the message, to help with more efficient printing for larger numbers.
Please send your message within the next three days. Now is our window for action!
Thank you for joining us to end the suffering in Gaza.
