Dear Global Humanitarian Assistance and International Development  and all our other globally focused colleagues,

Thank you for signing our petition - we have over 4,500 signatures and have delivered the petition to policy makers around the world. But, we are not stopping anytime soon. You can help us today by following us on Twitter and Instagram.

On social media, we are:

• Organizing “Twitter storms” and other social media actions
• Amplifying calls for policymakers and other leaders to call for a ceasefire
• Uplifting and amplifying the voices of colleagues in Palestine
• Sharing updates and actions, you can get involved in - both virtually and in-person
• Expanding our reach, including getting more signatures on our petition

Every follower, every like and every re-post helps us to expand our reach and amplifies our demand for a permanent and immediate ceasefire now.

Other Actions you can take

• Join us to March for Gaza in Washington DC on Saturday, January 13
• Read the op-ed about Palestinian refugees in Canada in the Toronto Star.
• Comment on USAID’s new democracy, governance and human rights policy and demand they stand up for human rights and support a ceasefire.
• Sign the GBV statement and check out the call to action saying no to all gender-based violence.
• Keep sharing the petition with as many global humanitarian assistance and international development colleagues around the world as you can.
• Most importantly, deliver the petition to your organization, funding agency, or policy leaders. Email templates can be found here. 

Other Updates

• Petition has been delivered to policymakers around the world - we have sent the petition to policymakers in the US, European Union, Canada and Australia. 
• Head of USAID has been put on notice - as a scholar of genocide, we are demanding that USAID Administrator Samantha Power lead the way in calling for a ceasefire by putting up these signs near her office.
• Hearing your stories - and sharing anonymously. We are hearing from all of you on your stories about how you’ve pushed your organizations to support a ceasefire, how you are being silenced at work, and what you are hearing. Share your stories with us, and we can post them anonymously. You can send us a direct message on Twitter or Instagram.
