A few weeks ago we stood outside our church and pointed to our banner - We cry out for Gaza Peace and Justice in Palestine as part of the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Network (PIEN) campaign video of Australian Churches and Clergy advocating for peace and Justice in Palestine.

The video is now live on PIEN’s YouTube page.

We are now being asked to send this video to the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and our Federal Member of Parliament and Senators. Whilst our Church Council will send the video with an accompanying letter it is important for individual church members to also send the video expressing their own specific concerns. PIEN suggests you could mention:

• The congregation you belong to;
• Why you participated;
• What we are calling on the government to do (when addressed to Labor).
  We are particularly urging the government at this crucial point in time to sanction Israel, establish a two-way arms embargo and for the UN to send in Peace Keepers.
