Call for an immediate ceasefire and to withhold arms transfers to Israel
We continue to call for a ceasefire and to withhold arms transfers to Israel contingent on Israel’s compliance with international law and US laws for security assistance. Please read the Indivisible.org latest statement below calling for all the parties to do everything in in their power to enact a durable ceasefire, and then call your Senators/Representative:
Contact only your own Representative (Rep. Mike Thompson or Rep. Doris Matsui). Neither has yet signed on to this letter from more than 30 members of Congress calling to withhold arms transfers to Israel– we want our Representatives to take action!
| Rep. Thompson Woodland phone: 530-753-5301 |
| Rep. Thompson web contact form |
| Rep. Matsui Sacramento phone: (916) 498-5600 |
| Rep. Matsui web contact form |
Example call/email script (your own words are best!)
I am a constituent and I am [calling/writing] today to ask [Sen. Padilla/Sen. Butler/Rep. Thompson/Rep. Matsui] to publicly call for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. It’s heartbreaking to witness the loss of civilian life in Gaza and the West Bank stemming from the Israeli military’s campaign. Any humanitarian solution to this crisis starts with stopping the bombs. Achieving safety and security for Israelis and Palestinians will not be achieved through a continued campaign of collective punishment.
I am counting on you to publicly call for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and to use your position to push for an end to hostilities and to deliver urgently needed humanitarian assistance. Please tell President Biden to withhold arms transfers contingent on Israel’s compliance with international law and US laws for security assistance. Thank you.

Central Valley Matters Fundraiser with Dolores Huerta and Jane Fonda- April 25 @ 5pm
Join us on April 25th when we gather in support of Central Valley Matters’ grassroots groups when Dolores Huerta and Jane Fonda will discuss “Why the Central Valley Matters.”
We’ll learn how, when people can come together, organize, and take direct action, they can protect their rights. Many of us take fresh water and clean air for granted, yet thousands of people who live in CA-22 don’t have access to clean drinking water, breathe dirty air, and the region has the highest childhood asthma rates in the nation.
With our contributions, residents there learn they can elect people who will represent their interests and work to improve healthcare, working conditions and the local environment.
The grassroots groups we support focus on voter engagement and mobilization, key factors in changing the power structure in the Central Valley. Please invite your friends and family to our one-of-a-kind event! Donate early so that your dollars will have the biggest impact.
Who has the power? We have the power!
