1. Hit the MPs where it hurts

The leaders of both the Conservative and Labour Parties have voiced their support for Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.

Companies like Islamic Finance Guru have collaborated with Deen Developers and Muslim Census with support from Mend to develop a survey to see how their leaders' words on this issue have affected our attitudes towards their party.

Your responses will be used to create an interactive heatmap to show the Labour/Tory parties that their words will lose them the next election.

Make sure you choose to vote at the next election - even if it is for an Independent. That will scare the politicians most.

2. Write to your MP

One councillor was asked why every issue the Israel supporters, LGBTQ movement, and others raised was resolved; he replied, "because they would write letters of complaints every day and flood our inboxes to the point we had to act."

There are almost 4 million Muslims in the UK - we should be sending millions of letters of complaint - our MPs will have to respond.
