You can talk to your friends and family about Gaza

Why this matters

Many people still don’t realize how dire the situation is in Gaza, especially those who rely on traditional media.

Other people might share your concerns but feel isolated. By speaking out, you create space for them to join in. Together, action becomes easier and more powerful.

But even most importantly, if you feel this matters, speaking about with those around you it's simply the natural and the right thing to do.

What you can do

• Choose your moment: stay alert for natural openings and links from other topics during conversations.
• Listen with empathy: understand where others are coming from. Seek dialogue, not arguments.
• Express your stance: share why the genocide in Gaza matters to you. Personal stories or moral reasoning can be powerful.
• Use respectful language: focus on sharing information, not forcing agreement.
• Use questions: Asking instead of asserting is a powerful way to help others reflect and move forward on their own.
• Encourage further dialogue: Invite follow-up questions or offer helpful resources.
