No More Weapons to Israel: Demand your members to fall in line with U.S. and international law now! Dear Email, This week, the U.S. Senate is set to make history by voting on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD) introduced by Senators Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, and Jeff Merkley, aiming to block over $22 billion in arms sales to Israel. This vote marks the first time Congress will consider halting a major weapons sale to Israel, an act of opposition to ongoing human rights violations against Palestinians. Israel’s use of U.S.-supplied weapons has fueled its devastating and ongoing genocide in Gaza, where 10’s of thousands of civilians have been killed, injured, or displaced.  Why Now? This vote is a chance for the U.S. to demonstrate its commitment to international law and human rights. The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) gives Congress the power to prevent arms sales that are likely to be used in ways that violate human rights, which Amnesty International and other organizations have documented extensively in Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Your voice can make a difference in compelling your Senators and Representatives to support these resolutions and end U.S. complicity in Israel’s apartheid and aggression against Palestinians. Call and Email your Members of Congress using our action tool and urge your friends and family to do the same. Let them know we will not let out until they listen to us and end U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza! Thank you for taking a stand for Palestine.
In solidarity,
