Dear (recipient name),

In the coming days, 50 unarmed Americans will be sailing in a U.S.-flagged ship, The Audacity of Hope, as part of an international humanitarian flotilla to Gaza.  This action will nonviolently challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has virtually imprisoned 1.6 million Gazan civilians, nearly half of whom are under the age of 16.  Israel's blockade has deprived the people of Gaza of access to basic resources and supplies, including food, medicine, building materials, medical equipment and more.  It has prevented Palestinian students from attending school abroad, Palestinian workers from reaching their jobs, Palestinian businesspeople from exporting their goods and Palestinian families from visiting their loved ones.

In addition to 36 passengers, 4 crew members and 10 members of the press, The Audacity of Hope will carry thousands of letters of support and friendship from Americans across the United States to Palestinians living in Gaza.  According to the ship's own passengers, there will be no weapons on board or goods of any kind for delivery to Gaza.  The passengers have also clearly stated that they do "not serve the agenda of any political leadership, government or group", but "are engaged solely in nonviolent action in support of the Palestinian people and their human rights."

In this context, I urge your administration to take swift and decisive action to uphold the rights of American citizens to safe passage to Gaza, as well as urge the Israeli government to lift the appalling blockade of Gaza itself.

Sincerely,
