<br>
Showing that we care and are paying attention to what those in Congress and the White House do regarding peace with justice and security is crucial to making change happen.<br>
<br>
You can also have a tremendous impact by <b>visiting face to face with your members of Congress</b> or their staff. Your congressional delegation, (your representative and two senators) will be working in your state the week of March 21 – 25 and they will be looking to hear from voters and advocates like you. Let them know that you believe that peace in the Holy Land is a priority by gathering a group to meet with members’ offices.<br>
