And ministers:

Hello people with power,

As Red Deerians and Albertans we demand the city, this province, and this country stand against Israel’s genocidal occupation in Palestine. Now.

Today Israel’s aerial and ground forces killed 50 Palestinians. They join more than 35,000 victims accounted for, and so many more who are buried under rubble.

As Israel continues the assault on Gaza, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are without homes, without aid, without hope.

We once again are informing you that Israel is committing war crimes. Israel is starving children. Israel is bombing hospitals. Israel is killing healthcare workers. Israel is committing a genocide with Canada’s support.

You know South Africa knows it.

The world knows it.

Alberta knows it, too.

As international support for an independent Palestine grows, your voices are needed.

Please demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

You need to demand an end to Israel’s blockade of Gaza;

You must demand an end to the sale of Canadian arms and military technology to Israel.

Albertans need you to stand up. For Albertans with roots in Palestine and for human rights everywhere.

The MPs and MLAs for Red Deer have made it clear they support genocide and the Israeli government—which will be tried in the International Criminal Court and the court of history.

This is a genocide. It was in 1948 and it is in 2024.

The world knows this is wrong,

The team at Red Deer for Palestine
