From Officials & Experts

“The families of more than 200 hostages taken by Hamas, including babies and Americans, have been living in hell, anxiously waiting to discover whether their loved ones are alive or dead.

My team and I are working hour by hour, doing everything we can to get the hostages released.

If Hamas cared at all for Palestinian lives, it would release all the hostages,
give up arms, and surrender the leaders and those responsible for Oct. 7.”

President Joe Biden
“The U.S. Won’t Back Down”

Our Mission

Our mission is to create awareness and increase the urgency of rescuing all civilians kidnapped by Hamas and taken to Gaza in its mass terror attack in Israel on October 7th, 2023. 

 

On the date of this mass kidnapping, the hostages ranged in age from 10 months to 85 years old. Proof of life has not been given.  The International Red Cross has not been provided with access. 

 

They have not been provided with adequate food.  Their locations in Gaza are unknown and most are believed to be held in underground tunnels. They include women who were raped on Oct 7, captives who were physically and severely harmed, seniors with Parkinson's or dementia, children not old enough to be walking, and others who depend completely on medical and adult care.


By this simple project, we aim to accelerate the return of all hostages to their families, including the citizens of the US, Israel, and all nations.

We encourage advocacy among friends, neighbors, elected officials, and all people of good will for the safe return of every hostage immediately.

 

Bring this project to your local community. Together, let's help...
