The Nuclear Resister provides an ongoing archive of political prisoner protesters. For example, the June 26, 2024, number contains data on US [Gaza] Cease Fire! arrests on pp. 1 and 5ff.
P. 1 “Ceasefire Now!”

Dear Dick,
Here is one more attempt to interfere with Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S. We are joining Win Without War in urging Congress to withdraw the invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu to visit Washington DC and thus legitimize policies that have led to unprecedented suffering and loss of life in Gaza.
Netanyahu is scheduled to appear before Congress on July 24, just 2 days from today!
Please click here to send a letter directly to your member of Congress demanding they boycott Netanyahu’s visit. Here is the link again: https://act.winwithoutwar.org/sign/rescind-invite/

What Can You Do to Ameliorate or Stop the Israeli (US) War against the Palestinians?
In addition to direct connection to Israelis or Palestinians, or contacting your Congressional representatives, the best action is to support established organizations. It takes just minutes to google for information and addresses. (These entries were randomly collected before the war openly resumed; if you can correct, add, or subtract any items, contact me. I am looking for a comprehensive published report.)
