John,

For months, Israel’s military has driven Palestinians south in Gaza.

Nearly 1.9 million people are now packed in Rafah, the last place in Gaza before Egypt’s border. They’re trapped and living in tents, having been displaced multiple times already in the past 4 months.

There is nowhere else for them to flee. But Israel’s government has been bombing them with U.S. bombs. And while the Super Bowl played on Sunday, the ground invasion began.

As the biggest funder of Israel’s military, the U.S. has the leverage to stop this. Instead, the U.S. Senate just passed a bill that would send $14 billion more American taxpayer dollars to Israel’s military.

Grassroots groups like the Palestinian Youth Movement are asking people to mobilize emergency protests to demand an end to this genocide now.

Find an urgent “Hands off Rafah!” action near you this week.

If you don’t see an action near you listed on the above site from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, you can find links to other resources on that page.

Please keep the pressure on the White House and your members of Congress to stop aiding and abetting this genocide.

In solidarity,

Rashida
