Take Action This Friday in your local Center

Yes, humanitarian aid is needed in Gaza but ending the illegal embargo would eliminate the current humanitarian crisis.  THE GOAL MUST BE TO END THE GAZA EMBARGO.

MAS Freedom is solely focused on the issue of ending the embargo in Gaza and has initiated the following projects under our End the Embargo “Let Gaza Live” Campaign.

We are calling on all Muslims to dedicate this Friday Khutba to the issue of Gaza and the contribution of the American Muslim community.

Through our multi-religious and human right activists coalition, the MAS Let Gaza Live campaign is:

1. mobilizing a broad based interfaith coalition along with secular human right activist organizations as a united front towards ending the Gaza embargo.  Our coalition includes prominent religious leaders and activists and our ranks are growing.  This coalition’s purpose is to raise the voice of the American religious community and other people of conscience in advocating that our government calls for the ending of the embargo. Reach out to people of faith in your city and ask them to join this campaign.
2. Our work has contributed to securing 54 members of Congress who have called upon the President to use his office and influence to lift the Gaza embargo.  MAS Freedom and the coalition are targeting an additional 100 members of Congress to join the 54 members who have already called for the lifting of the embargo.  Email your representatives in congress, asking them to support the initiative.
3. Involved in a massive postcard campaign to send to the White House and Congress calling for the ending of the embargo. Download and print postcard or contact MAS Freedom to send you hundreds of these cards to be mailed to the White House and Congress by all people of conscience in your city.
4. We have an online End the Embargo petition drive.  Click here to sign the petition.
5. MAS Freedom and the coalition are planning to purchase full page ads in major newspapers in which prominent international and national faith leaders and activists will list their names in support of lifting the embargo.
6. We will purchase thousands of yard signs to be placed in front of houses of worship that read END THE GAZA EMBARGO NOW!  LET GAZA LIVE!
7. MAS Freedom and the coalition will continue to provide  creative campaigns that will advocate and educate the American people on the necessity of ending the Gaza embargo
