Since we launched the #ArmsEmbargoNow campaign alongside two dozen allies in May, it has garnered the support of 400+ unions and civil society organizations, and we’ve successfully pushed 41 Members of Parliament from across party lines to sign on!
But as we witness massacres in Gaza almost every day, and the devastating death toll continues to climb, it’s clear we must continue to escalate the pressure on our MPs from coast-to-coast and force them to support the call for an end to Canada’s arms trade with Israel.
This Thursday, June 13th, we’re taking action at MP offices across the country to demand they sign onto the call for a full and immediate arms embargo on Israel.
This is a key moment to push MPs before the House rises for the summer, but the timeline is tight — we have less than one week to plan actions at MP offices across the country and will need everyone’s help to pull this off.
Can you plan an action at your MP’s office with your neighbours on June 13? All the info you need is here, including a day of action toolkit with a step-by-step breakdown. You can check if your MP has already signed on here and take other actions to push for an arms embargo here.
