Since November, we have been holding these gatherings - and we’ve mailed over 1000 postcards to our N.C. Congressional Representatives & President Biden.

The Postcards for Ceasefire Pop-Up series invites us to practice our informed citizenship while connecting with community members who also wish to see an end to the horrific genocide unfolding in Gaza. Billions of U.S. tax money directly supports Israel’s military as it commits atrocities against Palestinians on a daily basis.

Thus far, at least 79 U.S. Congressional Representatives and multiple U.S. labor unions (representing 9+ million members!) have joined tens of millions of people - of all faiths, of all nationalities, of all ethnicities - worldwide to support an immediate, permanent ceasefire.
