From Families for Ceasefire (updated by Seattle Families for Ceasefire January 2024):

The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 30,000 people and 1.9 million people have been displaced. This is an unthinkable tragedy and humanitarian disaster. Beyond the death toll, many thousands more are wounded, children are orphaned, and all are suffering from lack of food, water, and medical care. Crucially, this massacre has been carried out with funding and full support of the U.S. government.

As children, caregivers, and families, we are called to do everything we can to stop this genocide. We are fighting for a world where all children can grow up in safety, freedom, and equality. If we do not speak, we are complicit.

As many of our elected leaders stay silent, and as more military aid is pledged to Israel, we as continuing to stand up and demand that a permanent ceasefire be called to end this slaughter. We invite you to join us by taking action in your community.  

our demands

1. An immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

2. Let in sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza.

3. Stop US aid to Israel — no funding for siege, bombing, and occupation in Palestine.

4. Human rights and self-determination for all.
