In a nutshell,
- Sign a petition to have the Occupied Territories Bill passed in full, including services. It’s currently at risk: https://act.forsa.ie/occupied-territories-bill
- Get the email addresses of your local TDs here and email them to ask for the full bill to be implemented https://www.contactyourtd.ie/
- Contact your school, work or union to encourage them to support Palestine while it endures genocide.
- Donate if you can, boycott Israeli goods with the easy-to-use app called “No Thanks” in your App Store.
PS: If you’re not sure what to say to your TD in an email, here is a template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EF1ZABOQo9VWqH-lQGCa08Gqyw4d9zgsrBAs5clHTiE/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0
I know we have a lot of home grown problems here too and many of us are overworked and exhausted. The above took me 20 minutes (I did steps 1, 2 and 4). We’ve had a proud history of opposing apartheid, send our representatives a strong and clear signal to uphold our moral and legal responsibilities.
Update: The link tree above is actually being updated regularly with email templates for contacting Irish TDs, MEPs on specific issues relating to the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. It’s worth bookmarking or leaving open in a browser tab if you found the initial content helpful.
