Seattle DSA is organizing a rally outside the offices of Democratic Party U.S. Congressman Adam Smith, a high ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee - which is tasked with funding and arming US imperialism- to demand he support a ceasefire. While 64 Representatives and Senators have called for a ceasefire, Smith has not. Unfortunately, this is not surprising. Smith has enjoyed lavish donations from the defense industry to fund his election campaigns -  in fact his top 2024 campaign contributions came from the war industries and the pro-Israel lobby!

Moreover, Smith, with the majority of Democrats, voted to approve a record shattering  $886 billion to fund the US military! This during a time when over 60% of working people support a ceasefire - not an escalation! It’s clear that Smith doesn’t represent us; he represents the interests of big business, US imperialism and the weapons-makers who profit from it.

Representatives like Adam Smith are using our tax-dollars to facilitate the slaughter of  Palestinians in Gaza, enable Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and to escalate the war in the Middle East by bombing Yemen. We should be using that money for housing and education, not war and occupation!
