Jun 19, 2024
Our partner Bisan Center for Research & Development, together with Palestinian civil society organizations and trade unions, calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza on June 25. Israel's ongoing campaign of genocide has caused enormous suffering and destruction. "It is time for the world to unite in solidarity to end this humanitarian crisis," Bisan said. Solidagro supports the campaign. Below we share the call shared by Bisan on their website.
We, Palestinian Civil Society and Unions, call upon all people of conscience to stand with us in demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The ongoing Israeli genocidal campaign has brought immense suffering and devastation to our people, and it is time for the world to unite in solidarity to end this humanitarian crisis. Join us in a Global Day of Action on June 25th.
Leave Work at 12 Noon: We urge workers, students, and professionals from all walks of life to leave their workplaces and schools at 12 noon local time. This collective pause will send a powerful message that the global community will not stand idly by while Gaza burns.
Participate in Activities and Demonstrations: Across cities and towns worldwide, we call for peaceful demonstrations, vigils, and activities to raise awareness and demand action. Here are some ways you can participate:
- Join or Organize a Demonstration: Find a local demonstration or organize one in your community. Hold signs, chant slogans, and make your voices heard.
- Hold a Vigil: Gather with candles and placards to honor the lives lost and stand in solidarity with Gaza.
- Spread the Word: Use social media to share information about the crisis and the global day of action. Use hashtags like #CeasefireInGaza, #StandWithGaza, and #GlobalDayOfAction.
- Contact Your Leaders: Call, email, or write to your government representatives demanding they take immediate action to support a ceasefire in Gaza.
We call on governments, international organizations, and civil society groups to:
- Demand an Immediate Ceasefire: Pressure all parties involved to halt the violence and start negotiations for a lasting peace.
- Provide Humanitarian Aid: Ensure the safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need in Gaza.
- Call for an Arms Embargo: Advocate for an arms embargo and stop providing weapons that are used in Genocide.
By coming together in this global day of action, we can amplify our voices and show that the world demands an end to the bloodshed. Our solidarity can make a difference, and together, we can push for a future where peace and justice prevail.
