Affirm your opposition to annexation!

This spring, CMEP launched our Churches Against Annexation campaign to ensure there was a clear Christian voice opposing annexation. We have continued our advocacy with Congressional offices, bringing the voices of all of our supporters along with us as we press Congress to ensure U.S. policy does not provide diplomatic cover for or fund annexation. 

It is critically important we continue to speak out against annexation. U.S. policy should encourage a resolution to the conflict in Israel/Palestine that will result in equality and human rights for all. We invite you (individuals and churches) to join us in opposing annexation by adding your name to the public statement we are issuing as part of our Churches Against Annexation campaign.

We are currently on our way to our goal of 500 signatures! We invite you to share this with others in your network who might be interested in signing. If you have any questions, please reach out to info@cmep.org. 

Thank you for your support!

We believe that peace is possible and we know that you do too. Donate today to help achieve our shared vision!
