Join the Let Children Live Campaign
Take action for Palestinian Children. Join the Let Children Live campaign.
Today, children in Gaza are enduring unimaginable devastation: Hunger is widespread and worsening. Bombs are falling without warning. Even for those who survive, life will never be the same. The latest numbers from UNICEF tell us that Gaza’s children remain trapped in the jaws of conflict—but Jesus teaches us that every child is beloved by God (Matthew 19:14).
That is why the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns is joining with partners around the world in the Let Children Live campaign—a global movement to lift up the names of Palestinian children for all to see. Organized by Amnesty International and Save the Children, we invite you to register and receive the name of a Palestinian child to lift up in prayer and advocacy.
How it works
Register at https://letchildrenlive.com/ to receive the first name of a Palestinian child.
You’ll be invited to share their name in prayer and on social media, and to join a global demonstration on September 13, the Saturday before the deadline set by the UN General Assembly for Israel to end the occupation that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has declared unlawful. But don’t stop then—keep sharing the name of the Palestinian child you receive until they can live in peace.
Together, we call for three clear demands:
- Stop killing, harming and starving Palestinian children
- Lift the blockade on Gaza
- End Israel’s occupation that the ICJ has declared unlawful
Ask your faith community to endorse the campaign by filling out this form.
Let’s show the world that Palestinian children are not numbers. They have names. They have rights. They deserve to live in peace. Together, we can raise a cry the world cannot ignore: Let children live.
