Take Action Palestine

  • Share information with family members and friends. Don’t avoid the subject just because it is controversial.
  • Write a letter to the editor of your local or regional newspaper when Palestinian perspectives are not reflected in coverage of related issues.
  • Boycott products made in illegal Israeli settlements or by companies that otherwise support the occupation. Click here for an educational handout that suggests which products to boycott, and provides a letter that can be delivered to the manager of any store that carries them.

Visit for Yourself

  • Visit, call or write to your representative and senators to urge a more balanced, less Israel-centric approach to the peacemaking process…and be sure to voice your support for legislators that do have a balanced approach
  • Visit Palestine to see the conditions of occupation yourself, so that you can speak more convincingly to people in your community about the situation there.
