<p>The talks in Cairo on a sustained ceasefire in Gaza have collapsed over Israel’s refusal to end the blockade of Gaza, and attacks between Israel and Gaza have resumed. [1]<br>
<br>
The only way this ends is with a political agreement that lifts the blockade, and that’s going to require increased international pressure. Norway has spoken up. [2] The UN has spoken up. [3] Oxfam has spoken up. [4] We need the U.S. government to speak up. <br>
<br>
Actor and Director Danny Glover has a piece on the front page of the Huffington Post, calling on Members of Congress to <b>stand with Representatives Keith Ellison and Barbara Lee in pressing for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict that ends the blockade on Gaza</b>. [5] We want to share Danny’s post with as many people – especially Members of Congress and their staffs – as possible. <br>
<br>
We’re making sharing Danny’s post a highlight of our daily 15 minute Twitter storm against the Gaza blockade [12pm ET/11CT/9AM CT]. <b>Can you join us? Instructions and sample tweets are here:</b><br>
