Dear Friends: 

Thanks for signing on to the campaign for a special envoy.  It would be great if you can invite others to join the mailing list through this link. When you do so you can forward this note and the attachment to new folk so they can get started right away.

Attached is a template for the first letter we are asking people to send.  It is a word document so feel free to alter it.  A personalized letter is more effective.  Make sure you also send it to your own M.P.

We are beginning our campaign by responding to Minister Garneau’s reply to the e-petition. 

If you did not sign the e-petition perhaps you would like to alter the sentence  “I am one of the many Canadians” to “There are many Canadians”.

The letter includes links to resources about the treatment of children.  Perhaps you would like to check out some of this info.  

The webinar about Military Court Watch hosted by Canadian Voices for Palestinian Rights has lots of good background and context (Passcode: *8Hn4KxK).  Might you invite a group to watch the webinar and talk together afterwards?  

Finally May 6, 12:10 pm EDT  Ted McMeekin is offering a Zoom circle on “Speaking So Politicians Listen” sponsored by 3 Ontario Regions of the United Church. Register here.

Thanks so much for taking this action on behalf of Palestinian children.

Sincerely, Marianna Harris
