Friends,
I’m Hannah Morris, Director of Government Affairs at J Street.
My team spends most our time speaking with Members of Congress and their
staff – representing you and your values.
It’s during devastating, difficult moments like this that our work is most
important.
As far too many in Washington retreat into partisanship – and fail to hold
the humanity of both Israelis and Palestinians – I'm deeply proud of the
leaders we have the closest relationships with.
Our J Street champions in the House and Senate are asking important
questions of the White House; pursuing vital pro-Israel, pro-peace policy
shifts; holding focus on the safety of hostages and Palestinian civilians;
fighting antisemitism without equivocation; and rejecting right-wing
efforts to turn vital issues like antisemitism and diplomacy into partisan
political footballs
If J Street didn't exist, extreme voices would have the field to
themselves. We can’t afford to step back now.
That’s why I’d like to ask for your support once more to strengthen our
advocacy and help us reach our End-of-Year Fundraising Goal.

Our goal is to deepen knowledge and understanding. To inject empathy,
humanity and nuance into an issue riven by partisanship. To press for
leadership. To press for change.
We’ve worked with a broad swath of Democrats in the House and Senate to
press forward dozens and dozens of important letters, bills, and
resolutions on hostage releases, humanitarian aid, civilian protection,
compliance with international law, settler violence, campus antisemitism
and other key issues.
From Rosa DeLauro to Jerry Nadler, Jan Schakowsky to Chris Murphy,
Elizabeth Warren to Jeff Merkley, Jamie Raskin to Sara Jacobs, we’re
continuing to partner with leading voices in Congress to press our
priorities forward.
Right now, we’re championing Senator Chris Van Hollen’s Arms
Accountability Amendment to increase transparency in how US military aid
is provided through the supplemental package. It’s a measure which will
apply to all countries, and will help ensure military aid to Israel is
used for legitimate security purposes, and not diverted by the Netanyahu
government to support settlements, annexation or other violations of
international law.
Of course, some of our victories are in the measures we help prevent from
being adopted – such as harmful amendments designed to splinter support
for pro-Israel, pro-peace policies, or right-wing efforts to silence
criticism of the Israeli government by conflating it with antisemitism.
If you think this is important – and share my concerns about what
extremists would be able to achieve if we weren’t advocating for a better
way forward – then please help fund our work. [ [link removed] ]Every donation
