✊ No Money for Massacres. Stand with Palestine! ✊

Georgia Congressman, Hank Johnson, joins two dozen House Democrats in signing a letter urging President Joe Biden to support a ceasefire in Gaza.
The recent events in Gaza are alarming, and risk spiraling into further violence and death. Right now, US Congress is preparing to use our tax dollars to fund a genocide of Palestinian people. Please take action NOW to urge Congress to support a ceasefire and de-escalation in Gaza!
