Ceasefire in Mideast can prevent further deaths of children

No child should be subject to the fear of bombs falling on them or witness the destruction of their home or the violent death of a family member. No child deserves to be a victim of war.

It is unconscionable that our tax dollars are being used to destroy children’s lives. It is past time for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Israel. Funding these wars is not leading to safety, security or peace for anyone; what it has led to is the violent injury and deaths of many thousands of children.

Write or call your representatives and tell them to call for an immediate ceasefire and to do all they can to end these wars now.
