In the last ten days, at least 219 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 100 women and children.1 1,500 people have been injured and more than 58,000 displaced.2
At a time when so many, including our President, support a ceasefire, we should not be sending ‘direct attack’ weaponry to Israeli to prolong this violence.
It is long past time to end the U.S. policy of unconditional military arms sales, particularly to governments that have violated human rights.
That’s why Alexandria and her colleagues Rep. Mark Pocan and Rep. Rashida Tlaib introduced a resolution that would block the planned $735 million sale of bombs to Israel.
Don’t be scared. Congress lines exist to receive your calls. Be KIND and clear.
Hi, my name is _____, and I'm calling from Philadelphia.
I’m calling on you to support the resolution blocking the planned $735 million sale of bombs to Israel. The United States should not be rubber-stamping weapons sales to the Israeli government as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets, schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions and civilian sites for bombing.
We have a responsibility to protect human rights. Thank you.
We have a responsibility to protect human rights. Tweets and messages of solidarity are not enough. Traction on this issue is very dependent on all of us taking necessary action right now.
Please make your voice heard by urging your member of Congress to take a stand and support the resolution to block the upcoming sale of bombs to Israel to protect the human rights of Palestinians. Use the link here to find the phone number for Rep. Boyle today.
With a heavy heart,
Team AOC
