Dear Friend,
On Monday, Nov. 13, people across the United States will take part in AFSC’s “NO tax dollars for war crimes” day of action. Congress votes to send billions of dollars to Israel to buy the bombs that have already killed more than 9,000 people in Gaza, including 3,700 children. On our day of action, we’ll visit the district offices of our U.S. senators and representatives to demand they stop funding the mass killing of people in Gaza. We’ll build memorials to remember all who have died and those who will die without a cease-fire and humanitarian access.
Will you join us on Nov. 13? To host an event in your community, sign up today [link removed] . To search for more events in your area, please check back later this week.
