Tell Your Senator to Call for a Ceasefire and Oppose Rafah Invasion
Indivisible has joined the global community in expressing our horror and grief at the loss of over 1,400 Israelis, Americans, and foreign citizens in Hamas’ horrific attacks on October 7, and echoed calls for all hostages to be released immediately.
Since then, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated catastrophically with Israel’s ongoing bombardment and blockade of life-sustaining supplies like water, food, medicine, and power. The death toll continues to rise by the hour.
The bombing has to stop.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly stated his intention to move forward with a full blown invasion of Rafah, a city in southern Gaza that is currently sheltering more than 1 million Palestinians who have been displaced from their homes by bombing and gunfire. This invasion would be a moral and strategic failure.
President Biden and his administration have said they oppose this plan - so they must act with urgency to withhold US weaponry and military support to the Israeli military for any offensive operations. Members of Congress have similarly stated they have concerns with a Rafah invasion - they must put a pause on offensive arms transfers and ensure US and international humanitarian laws already on the books are enforced. We need to halt this rolling nightmare, use significant diplomatic pressure to secure a ceasefire, and take the first steps towards a durable peace.
Indivisible continues to support the recommendations from progressive foreign policy leaders, compiled by the Center for International Policy, for ending the war and protecting Israeli and Palestinian lives. The necessary first step is for US leaders to push for a cessation of hostilities to prevent the further loss of civilian life and escalation of human suffering.
This crisis is a challenge to our humanity. It calls us to lean into our solidarity, with our communities at home and with those on the other side of the globe, to fight anti-semitism and Islamophobia alike. It calls us to stand bravely for the basic principle that human lives are precious. And it calls us to advocate for peace, urging our elected officials to do the same.

Call for a Ceasefire and Oppose a Rafah Invasion
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to tell [Senator] to call for the US to withhold any support for an Israeli military invasion of Rafah in Palestine.
The death toll of this war is heartbreaking. The Israeli military’s plan to invade Rafah would be even more catastrophic. Any humanitarian solution to this crisis starts with stopping the bombs and the killing. You can’t allow American weapons and supplies to be used for more escalations, like a Rafah invasion.
Tell [Senator] that I urge them to call for US offensive weapons to be withheld from the Israeli military, to oppose a Rafah invasion, and to push for a desperately needed ceasefire.
