I am calling on you to publicly support the Global Sumud Flotilla and pressure this government to take action to protect these aid workers! Specifically, I am asking that you: • Urgently demand that Israel refrain from violence or intimidation against the Global Sumud Flotilla and its passengers, in full respect of international law. • Guarantee that the Global Sumud Flotilla is allowed to reach Gaza and deliver its humanitarian cargo without obstruction. • Act to protect the civilians on board and ensure their safe passage. • Call on the US government to provide escorts - through any means - to safeguard the vessels, their vital supplies and the passengers on board.  • Support measures that secure the delivery of vital supplies and uphold the right of humanitarian relief to Gaza. • Hold Israel accountable if this peaceful mission is once again blocked or attacked Please attend to this matter as soon as possible to ensure the protection and safety of these workers, the Palestinian people, and our global moral (and legal) responsibilities.
