Over a thousand Palestinians fleeing Gaza to Canada are trapped in Egypt, while hundreds of thousands remain starving under constant Israeli bombardment. As Israel continues its genocidal campaign in Gaza, Immigration Minister Miller must immediately fix the failing Gaza Visa program, and Foreign Affairs Minister Joly must force Israel to let Palestinian family members out of Gaza.

Many of you have emailed politicians, but now we are asking you to phone them and ask them to take decisive action for immediate family reunification!

Use our NEW CALL TOOL BELOW to get connected via phone to your local MP and ministers and have talking points on screen that you can explain to them. 

Tips for using our tool:

You don’t need to be an expert to call your MP and Ministers. You just need to be respectful and speak from the heart. Remember your MP and Ministers might not be available. You might speak to an assistant or have to leave a message. Just keep it short and sweet. Remember to leave your name and number and let them know you are a constituent of a specific riding. When you use this tool, it is best to use two devices, a computer and a phone. It is best to enter your information on a computer and have a phone handy for the call.

This is how it works:

• The tool will call your phone;
• Once you hit submit you will then see suggested talking points on a new screen;
• Our tool will automatically call your phone and connect you to your MP’s office, followed by Ministers Joly and Miller’s offices, once you click submit. If you only want to speak to your local MP, you can hang up after the first call.
• However, if you want to also try Ministers Miller and Joly, stay on the phone after each call to be connected to the next one. Do not hang up; You can also press * to move to the next call;
• You will hear the ringing once it connects, and you will likely get either voicemail, or an office staffer. If you get an office staffer, you can ask to speak to the MP or the minister. If the MP or Minister is available, state your concerns to them. If they’re unavailable, state your concerns to the staffer. If you go to voicemail, take 30 seconds to leave your concerns on voicemail;
• Remember that suggested talking points will be displayed on a screen during the call;
• Keep in mind that the ministers' voicemail might be full. If that happens, just let the call disconnect, or press * to skip to the next call. You can also try reaching out to them again later;
• If you have any specific feedback after the phone call, please email us at [email protected], and we’ll get back to you.

If you do not have a Canadian address, the tool will default to calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office.
