John,
Right now, we are seeing two very different visions for the future of
America and the world.
Last week, Congress approved giving $886 billion of our tax dollars to
fund bombs, weapons, and war crimes. I voted against this massively
wasteful budget for war and destruction, which was the largest military
budget in the history of our country. This budget is impossible to justify
when our neighbors are struggling to put food on the table, fighting to
keep a roof over their heads, and rationing their medication.
My constituents sent me to Congress to invest in life and in everyday
working people. Last week, I was proud to stand alongside United Auto
Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain and other union leaders calling for a
ceasefire now.

Gaza ceasefire
At the ceasefire rally, UAW President Shawn Fain said:
“The world has seen enough slaughter and devastation. Peace is the only
path forward… As union members, we know we must fight for all workers and
suffering people around the world. We must fight for humanity.”
My Yaba (dad) was a UAW member and I wish he was alive today to see his
union stand up and courageously say: Ceasefire now!
But even as our movement demanding a ceasefire grows, Congress continues
to fund more bombs and more senseless killing.
Why aren’t over 18,000 Palestinians killed enough for my colleagues to say
the words, ‘Ceasefire now’? Why aren’t over 7,000 children killed enough
for my colleagues to call for a lasting ceasefire for an end to this war?

ceasefire movement, as we raise our collective voice saying: “We choose
life over death.”

Thanks to you, our movement is growing.
Together, we will keep demanding not only a ceasefire, but also an end to
the blockade on Gaza, an end to the dehumanizing system of apartheid, and
the return of all hostages and those arbitrarily detained. We will keep
pushing back against oppression here and abroad, and advocating for human
rights and freedom for all people around the world.
In solidarity,
Rashida
Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that
this is a difficult time.
There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in
Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a
ceasefire through [ [link removed] ]Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them
using [ [link removed] ]Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this
critical moment.
