“Stop the Silence” is a grassroots campaign urging New Zealand to stay true to our values by speaking up against the current bombardment of Palestine and calling for an immediate ceasefire. We give you resources and latest news so you can speak and stay informed. Silence won’t stop the violence. Stop the Silence is about Kiwis standing for what’s right.
We’re encouraging New Zealanders to dedicate just four minutes a day for 40 days to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, engage in thoughtful discussions, and take action to stop the violence.
4 FOR 40
Taking action for 4 minutes a day for 40 days is a manageable yet impactful way to engage with urgent issues requiring sustained attention. It’s a way to channel our collective energy towards sustained impact and foster a growing community of concern around critical issues, ensuring that goodwill translates into tangible action.
Current Campaign: Stop the Silence
Current Objective: Advocate for an immediate ceasefire.
