| We're calling on activists around the globe to organize an action between December 27th through December 31st to send Obama, the US State Department and Congress a message to pressure the Israeli government to Lift the Siege on Gaza Now!

The timing here is crucial. On December 27, 2008, Israel launched an attack on the Gaza Strip called Operation Cast Lead in which over 1400 Palestinians were killed, including as many as 300 children. In remembrance of these innocent civilians and to mark the fact that it has been one year since the Israeli assault began, some 1,000 people from around the world will join with 50,000 Palestinians in a massive nonviolent Gaza Freedom March on New Year's Eve, December 31, in Gaza. The International Coalition to End the Illegal Siege of Gaza is calling on us to coordinate local solidarity actions to raise awareness and media attention for the big March and the need to end the illegal blockade. Will you join us?
To help you can take part in the international days of action, we are:
- Lifting public awareness on the need to lift the siege on Gaza
- Assembling a coalition of hundreds of organizations committed to this vision
- Connecting you with others in your community and across the planet who are working on this issue
- Providing on-line resources and tools that make pulling together an event easy
- Linking you to Dec. 27 through Dec. 31 events with hundreds of other actions at iconic places around the world
- Leveraging the days of action for meaningful political change
