Vote Palestine: Tell Your Member of Parliament and Canada’s Political Parties to Stand with Palestine

Written by Vote Palestine

Published in News

Vote Palestine is a non-partisan grassroots campaign pushing for Palestinian rights and freedom during the next Canadian federal election.

We are organizing people across the country to speak up to pressure MPs, political parties, and candidates to endorse the Palestine Platform.

As Israel increases its attacks on Gaza and the West Bank and in the face of Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza - we must take action. A federal election is approaching and a growing majority of people in Canada refuses to accept the government’s complicity in genocide and this will impact who they support.

Vote Palestine 2025 expands and builds on the Vote Palestine 2021 campaign.

The Palestine Platform

The Palestine Platform outlines the unified demands of the Palestinian community and people across the country who consider Canada’s position on Palestine a top election issue. It was developed by the Palestinian community and solidarity partners across Canada, and is grounded by Canada’s obligations under international law, as enshrined in domestic laws and policies.

Constituents can use this platform to evaluate the candidates in their riding to help them decide who to vote for on election day. Candidates can review the platform to understand the expectations of Canadian voters who support justice for Palestinians.

We encourage all residents (voters or not) to speak to your local candidates and ask them to endorse these five platform points. Let them know that this election you will only support candidates that stand up for Palestinian human rights and international law.

Demands:

Impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel
End Canadian involvement in illegal Israeli settlements
Address anti-Palestinian racism and protect freedom of expression on Palestine
Recognize the State of Palestine
Protect and Fund Gaza Relief Efforts, including UNRWA
