John, on this day
one year ago, Justice Democrats members Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Summer
Lee, and Delia Ramirez introduced a resolution in Congress calling for an
immediate, lasting ceasefire, the return of Israeli and Palestinian
hostages, and for humanitarian aid to freely enter Gaza.

Fellow Justice Democrats Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, AOC,
Greg Casar, and Pramila Jayapal joined them in support of this resolution
for peace, demonstrating the necessity of our progressive bloc’s
leadership in Congress.

Unfortunately, Cori, Rashida, Summer, Delia, and other Justice Democrats
were attacked and vilified by colleagues on both sides of the aisle for
leading the call for a ceasefire, and their resolution never passed. The
war crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleansing carried out by the Netanyahu
Administration were allowed to continue unfettered for the past year, with
the help of billions of dollars in U.S. weapons and bombs.

Now, Gaza has been turned to rubble, more than 41,000 Palestinians have
been massacred by the Israeli military, and millions of Palestinians are
at risk of starvation and death due to ongoing violence and a lack of
food, clean water, and medical supplies being blocked by the IDF.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration wants to send another $20 billion in
weapons to Israel.

But our progressive leaders in Congress haven’t given up the fight for
peace, and neither can we. Justice Democrats members are leading the call
for an arms embargo, and for the first time in U.S. history, there will be
a vote in Congress to block weapons to Israel.

Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop a $20 billion weapons shipment
approved by the Biden Administration. Will you call your Senators
immediately and tell them to block these weapons, and to support a full
arms embargo?

The only reason the United States hasn’t secured a ceasefire in the last
year is because we continue to arm the Israeli military’s genocide. There
are millions of people counting on us to take action and stop our
government from funding this continued destruction. The immense loss of
life is already devastating, but we can still save countless lives and end
Israel’s forced humanitarian crisis against the people of Gaza if Congress
and the Biden Administration act now.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
