Demand Your Senators Vote YES on Sanders’s Resolutions to Stop U.S. Arms Sales to Israel Dear Email, This week, Senator Bernie Sanders is leading an effort in the U.S. Senate to halt $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel, which would further enable the devastating aggression against Palestinians in Gaza by Israel. This is your chance to directly push your Senators to end the U.S. partnership in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and its assault on human rights and international law. More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023—an unimaginable toll made possible by the very weapons the U.S. continues to supply, including devastating 2,000-pound bombs. These arms are not just aiding Israel’s genocide, they are enabling it. Senator Sanders’s Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD) offer a critical and immediate mechanism to halt these weapons transfers, forcing Israel to reconsider its relentless assault and bringing us one step closer to ending the genocide. TAKE ACTION NOW: CALL and EMAIL your Senators and tell them to vote YES on Sanders' Proposed Legislation  Israel has completely severed Gaza from the world—no food, water, electricity, or medical supplies are allowed into the enclave. Israel’s total blockade has plunged over two million Palestinians into extreme suffering, starvation, and desperation. As of yesterday, all bakeries in the Gaza Strip have ceased operations due to a lack of flour and diesel, prompting fears of an imminent famine similar to the crisis experienced in March of the previous year. On March 17, Israel shattered the ceasefire, unleashing relentless airstrikes that killed over 400 Palestinians in just one night, including nearly 200 children. Israel is now intensifying its assault with a massive ground invasion, aiming to deepen an already devastating humanitarian crisis. The pending U.S. arms sale, worth $8.8 billion, includes over 35,000 one-ton bombs specifically designed to maximize destruction. These weapons enable Israel’s ongoing atrocities, making the United States directly complicit in war crimes and genocide against Palestinians. It is critical and urgent that your Senators hear from you now to halt these sales immediately. Use the following call and email tools to demand they vote NO. In solidarity,
