Dear fellow humans living in the Kootenays, 

It isn't easy to hold the daily awareness of the horrors happening to the Palestinian people in Gaza.  There are ongoing efforts to keep us distracted, keep us doubtful, keep us numb.  As simple as it may seem, signing this petition, sending an email to our local MPs, and continue to speak up about the human rights of the people of Palestine until the military aggression is over is critical to keep up!

So, Im sending note of gratitude to you all for signing this petition and ongoing encouragement to continue to do as your capacities allow to continue as a voice for a ceasefire.  

As a gentle reminder please continue to connect with:

 MP Rob Morrison / Telephone: 613-995-7246 / rob.morrison@parl.gc.ca

MP Richard Cannings / Telephone: 613-996-8036 / richard.cannings@parl.gc.ca

Also please consider connecting in with other networks of people taking action and continue to learn more about how we can take action for love and humanity in these times.  There is lots of activity on social media to stay updated - please consider following these creators.
