2) Contact your elected representatives at least twice a week and demand that they take action to end Israel's assault on Gaza and its ongoing violence against the Palestinians through its occupation and apartheid. All members of Congress and the Senate can be reached at: 202-224-3121. Also contact your local electeds and ask them to issue public statements.

3) Contact President-Elect Obama and ask him to issue a statement calling for Israel to end its bombing and siege on Gaza http://change.gov/page/content/contact

4) Every day have a conversation with at least 2-3 people about what is going on in Gaza and urge them to take action.

5) Monitor and contact local media. Write letters to editors or op eds (Sac Bee www.sacbee.com/326/story/19629.html; oped@sacbee.com; SacNewsRev: sactoletters@newsreview.com; Davis: www.davisenterprise.com/forms_submitletter.php) sactoletters@newsreview.com. Call or write local TV and radio stations (you can get a list from the yellow pages, smartpages.com, or search engines).

6) Organize and/or participate in demonstrations, vigils, sit-ins teach-ins, speakers, films and other public actions and events. Check with www.sacpeace.org or www.davispeace.org for Sacramento & Davis peace events.

7) Pass out flyers or join leafleting efforts of other groups to distribute information about Palestine and Gaza in your community, asking people to take action (www.sacpeace.org).

8) Hold a house party to inform friends, neighbors, family, and others about Gaza and also to raise funds for Gaza (see next item).

9) Donate to get direct aid to Gaza. We can recommend the Middle East Children's Alliance: http://www.mecaforpeace.org/article.php?id=364

10) Don't buy Israeli products (and ask others not to). If the first three numbers of the bar code are "729", the product was made in Israel. For more information, see www.BDSmovement.net

11) Invite a speaker to your workplace, club, place of worship, union. For speakers in the Sacramento area, email sacpeace@dcn.org.

12) Wear a Palestinian head scarf (kaffeyah) or a black arm band; these can also help start conversations.

13) Visit Palestine! (Email us for suggestions, mcpd1234@gmail.com)
