From: Donna Baranski-Walker, Rebuilding Alliance via ActionNetwork.org contact@rebuildingalliance.org Dear Friends Rebuilding Alliance is bringing Palestinian children and human rights defenders to Congress, just before International Peace Day, to talk about what peace means to them. The #ICareAboutPeace briefing is scheduled for today, Tuesday, Sept. 19th at 10:30 AM in the Capitol Building Room SVC 212- 10. Right now, to make this come together, we need your help in three important ways: 1) To pay for travel expenses. A GENEROUS DONOR WILL MATCH YOUR DONATION DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR! Please give big-heartedly! 2) Tia, 12, from Gaza needs your help to get one more transit visa. She and her father already have their US visas and their Jordanian transit visas. 3) To email your Senators and Rep so they will call the Israeli Embassy on your behalf to get Tia’s transit visa moving AND also, to invite them to attend the #ICareAboutPeace Congressional briefing! Co-Sponsor: Ask every organization you belong to, to co-sponsor the #ICareAboutPeace Briefing on Sep. 19th! Ask your peace group, your Rotary Club, your place of work or worship, every group you care about, and your football team — this is about what peace means, for heaven`s sake! Please call us at +1 (650) 651-7165. The delegation will also include distinguished human rights defenders, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, founder of Torah Tzedek, and Haj Sami Sadeq, Mayor of Al Aqaba. You are the small miracle who will make this come together in time. Sincerely, Donna Baranski-Walker Founder and Executive Director, Rebuilding Alliance P.S.
