Besides being a boxing icon, Muhammad Ali has always been a proponent of justice. Following in his footsteps, Ali’s daughter Maryum Ali is using her platform to encourage fans and supporters to come together for a vital cause. Maryum is the eldest daughter of the legendary boxer, and she is urging people to sign up for a campaign demanding a cease-fire between Israel and Palestine.

Portraying the spirit and determination that runs in her family, Maryum recently turned to Instagram, sharing a campaign. What’s more, Ali’s daughter previously shared a story on her Instagram account that called for attention to the ongoing turmoil in DR Congo regarding cobalt mine workers. Seemingly, Maryum has shifted her attention to the ongoing conflict in Israel, advocating for a cease-fire.

The next step called for people to call Congress demanding support for the cease-fire.

As the final step in the campaign, people have to send letters to their respective congressperson demanding support for the movement. Besides the campaign, Maryum shared screen grabs of tweets from prominent names and organizations from across the globe, addressing the situation in Israel. While Marum has joined the cause recently, Mayweather stood up in support of Israel earlier.

Mayweather’s actions in the ring have often attracted applause from the world. However, earlier this year, Mayweather garnered praise for his stance on Israel. Mayweather used his private plane to send vital supplies to the country after the terror group Hamas attacked. According to an article from TMZ, Floyd partnered with an Israeli relief organization to deliver various supplies.

While Maryum Ali has raised her voice calling for peace, what sort of impact the campaign would have is yet to be seen. What are your thoughts on the ongoing conflict in Israel? Would you sign up for the campaign?
