Over 600,000 people marched in London last week for peace and justice in the Holy Land, but there is much more that we can do besides marching - including writing letters and emails to MPs. And there are petitions. The government responds to all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures

At 10,000 signatures, a petition will be considered for debate in Parliament, and if more than 100,000 have signed - parliament must consider debating the subject.

Campaigners say: "Every signature counts. If we want political change, we must show up for it. These petitions are a way to make sure issues get to Parliament and demand action."

Petitions to the government are open for six months. Please sign and share - current petitions with deadlines soon:
