Action 1: Tell Congress to Oppose Rafah Invasion
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 is 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.
Please call on your Senators and Representative to oppose the Rafah invasion and call for an immediate ceasefire!

Action 2: MI and WI Canvassing
The 2024 election is likely to be decided in a handful of swing states and Indivisible Chicago canvassers are talking to voters in two of them.
Volunteers who’ve knocked doors in Michigan and Wisconsin this month report numerous positive chats with voters about what matters to them in this year’s election.
Nothing has more impact on elections than one-to-one voter conversations. You could be the one to turn out crucial voters this fall.
Indivisible Chicago specializes in making it easy to canvass, with expert training, background materials, meticulous logistics, and dozens of veteran canvassers who will walk with you and show you the ropes. We’ll even get you a ride if you need one.
Sign up today for our June canvasses to help make the biggest difference possible in what is, once again, the most important election of our lifetime.
