HI Everyone:
Thank you everyone who took action on this issue.
Below is an article on a request for action I sent a couple of weeks ago regarding a letter to Sec of State John Kerry and the Human Rights of Palestinian Children.
Also note: Sunjeev (Of Amnesty Int'l USA) is quoted within the article, so wanted to also mention that he had written a blog post (6/22) on this initiative as well called ‘Did your Member of Congress Stand Up for Palestinian Children?’ (http://blog.amnestyusa.org/
From Edie Garwood, AIUSA's Country Specialists for I/OT: Follow-up action is: asking that we ‘thank’ those who signed and if our elected officials haven’t - ask them why. Call the Congressional main switchboard number, (202) 224-3121 and simply ask for your representative. See list below to check if your MOC is listed to ’thank’ or ask ‘why’. You can also see other action options here (http://goo.gl/jYvDHe) and for more background information, videos, etc … see www.nowaytotreatachild.org.
Thank you all.
