The best way Americans can advocate on behalf of peace in the Holy Land and make a real difference on the ground is to contact U.S. policymakers and tell them that you support peace in the region and want them to make it their priority to advance the establishment of a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. The most effective way to do this is to contact your U.S. senators and representatives in their district offices via mail or fax. It is also helpful to arrange meetings with them when they are in the district. If you cannot meet with the member directly, ask for a meeting with district staff. You can write to their Washington, D.C. offices, but it is far more effective to communicate local concerns at a local level in order to see a significant impact on policy. Local constituent concerns are taken much more seriously at home because Congressional leaders are accountable and responsible to their voters. It is the right and responsibility of voters to educate their Congressional leaders about constituent positions on various issues. Below is contact information that will guide you through this process. You may also click on the "Additional Resources" section of the HLCS website to find talking points and other information that might help craft your views and concerns.
