Template #1: Ceasefire and Assist

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Name],

As a Utah voter, I urge you to represent our shared values of compassion, human rights, and justice.

The U.S. must stop funding and supplying weapons to any government involved in mass civilian harm. I call on you to:

  1. Support an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians, and creation of safe zones in Gaza.
  2. Ensure humanitarian assistance, including:
    • Safe passage of aid and medical supplies through Rafah crossing, with international protection.
    • Secure and timely delivery of aid within Gaza.
    • Restoration of water, electricity, and fuel for hospitals and essential services.

We cannot be complicit in suffering. Please act now to align U.S. policy with Utah values and basic human decency. I respectfully ask that you respond and let me know where you stand on this issue.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City], Utah

Template #2: Ceasefire and Assist

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Name],

As a concerned Utah citizen, I am writing to urgently request your action on the ongoing situation in Gaza. The scale of the humanitarian crisis requires immediate intervention. I urge you to support the following measures:

  1. Immediate Deescalation
    • Advocate for an immediate ceasefire.
    • Prioritize the protection of civilians and the establishment of safe zones in Gaza to ensure their safety.
  2. Entry of Humanitarian Assistance
    • Support the safe passage of humanitarian aid, including medical supplies, from Egypt through the Rafah crossing. This must be safeguarded by the international community.
    • Ensure the protection and timely delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza's affected population.
    • Push for the resumption of access to water, electricity, and fuel for medical facilities within Gaza.

This is a humanitarian crisis that demands swift political pressure and the protection of innocent lives. I trust that you will do everything in your power to advocate for these critical measures and to push for the protection of vulnerable civilians.

Template #1: Defund Military Aid to Israel

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Name],

I write as a concerned Utah voter urging you to oppose all U.S. military funding to Israel, given the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

  • Under the current 2016 Memorandum of Understanding, the U.S. provides approximately $3.8 billion per year in military aid to Israel, with nearly all of it spent on weapons and defense systems.
  • Since October 7, 2023, U.S. taxpayers have already supplied at least $17.9 billion in military assistance, the highest amount ever delivered in a single year, including arms transfers and drawdowns from stockpiles.
  • That adds up to over $22 billion of military spending related to the Gaza war and regional operations in one year alone.

In practical terms, the average U.S. taxpayer contributes at least $25 per year in weapons support for Israel.

Given these facts, I respectfully request that you:

  1. Call to halt U.S. military aid immediately.
  2. Withhold weapons transfers until a full human rights review is conducted.
  3. Press Congress to defund Israel until there is a verifiable ceasefire and civilian protection plan in place.

This is not just a fiscal issue—it’s a moral crisis. U.S. aid is directly fueling bombing campaigns that imperil civilians in Gaza. Please stand with Utah voters and demand accountability now. I respectfully ask that you respond and let me know where you stand on this issue.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Template #2: Defund Military Aid to Israel

Dear [Senator/Representative] [Name],

I am a Utah citizen writing to you not just with concern, but with heartbreak. What we are witnessing in Gaza is unbearable: families buried under rubble, mothers carrying their dying children through streets filled with smoke, entire generations erased in minutes.

And yet, our government continues to fund it.

It is devastating to know that U.S. tax dollars — my tax dollars — are contributing to this suffering. Each bomb dropped, each child lost, each hospital destroyed — it’s paid for, in part, by us.

This is not about politics. It’s about humanity.

I urge you to do everything in your power to:

  • End military aid to Israel immediately.
  • Stop sending bombs and weapons that fuel this devastation.
  • Demand a permanent ceasefire and protection of civilians.

There is no justification for continuing to fund such pain.

Please, let our state — and our nation — be on the right side of history.

Use your position to stop this. Choose life over war. Choose compassion over complicity. Please reply to let me know your position and how you plan to act on this matter.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City], Utah
[Your ZIP Code]

Phone Call Scripts

Script 1: U.S. Funding & Ceasefire

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City], Utah.

I’m calling to urge [Senator/Representative] [Name] to take immediate action to end U.S. military aid to Israel and call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

  • The U.S. gives $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel every year — that’s about $25 per taxpayer, and it’s directly funding the destruction in Gaza.
  • Since October 2023, over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, many of them women and children.
  • Our government should not be funding bombs while people in Gaza are starving, dehydrated, and denied medical care.
  • I’m asking the [Senator/Representative] to push for a ceasefire, the safe entry of humanitarian aid, and an end to all military funding to Israel until civilian lives are protected.

Please let me know where the [Senator/Representative] stands on this. Thank you.

Script 2: Stop Aiding Genocide

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I live in [City], Utah.

I’m calling because I am heartbroken and outraged by what’s happening in Gaza — and I want [Senator/Representative] [Name] to help stop the killing.

I cannot believe our country is still sending bombs and money while thousands of innocent people are being slaughtered. Mothers are digging their children out of rubble. Hospitals are bombed. People are starving — and we’re funding it.

This is not self-defense. It’s a massacre. And it’s happening with our support.

I’m asking [Senator/Representative] [Name] to:

  • Demand a ceasefire.
  • End U.S. military aid to Israel.
  • Prioritize getting humanitarian aid into Gaza now.

Please tell the [Senator/Representative] that Utahns are watching. We do not want genocide done in our name. I would like to know what he is doing to stop this.

Thank you.
