Take Action
An immediate action to take now:
It has been one year since the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas.
More than a hundred hostages have not been returned. For them, each day is another day of unimaginable trauma; for their families, each day is another day of agony. A U.N. report found clear and convincing evidence that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment, has been inflicted against hostages. There is every reason to believe that gender-based violence and abuse, along with numerous other forms of torture, are still being perpetrated against hostages who remain in captivity.
Please: imagine that your loved one is among the hostages. Lend your voice to help.
Here’s how you can help:
Call or email the White House - Tuesday to Thursday, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Ask President Biden to prioritize the release of the hostages. Give your name and address. You can do this once or as many times as you want (set an alert to call every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, if you wish).
Phone: 202-456-1111 or Contact the White House in writing
Ask a friend, or several friends to do the same. Share the contact info with them. Encourage them to ask others.
That’s it! If you’d like to do more, please post and share about this effort. Even small actions can make a difference when we engage each other in shared action.
THANK YOU for your voice!
