Right now millions of people — across Palestine, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and more, along with those stationed on U.S. bases and ships in the region — are at incredible risk.

By failing to apply the pressure necessary to save lives the U.S. government is hardly using the enormous influence it could to open a path to peace. Right now, multiple diplomatic tools remain at the president’s disposal like sanctioning Israeli public officials for inciting settler violence and obstructing justice, enforcing U.S. law that requires recipients of U.S. weapons to allow access to humanitarian aid, suspending shipments of offensive weapons that can be used to harm innocent people, and more.

But that can change — and your voice is a critical piece of the puzzle.

For 325 days and counting, too many people continue to wake up unsure of what tomorrow will bring. But activists like you refuse to accept a world where people are at risk of violence and suffering. That’s why we know a different path is possible.

This cycle of violence cannot continue — and the U.S. government has a key role to play in ending it. Add your name to our petition urging President Biden to use the full force of U.S. influence to de-escalate the crisis and get a ceasefire now.
