*TAKE ACTION: House of Representatives voting this week on H.Res.326*

Dear Supporter,

We just learned that the House of Representatives is voting this week on H.Res.326, a resolution supporting a negotiated two-state outcome to the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

American Muslims for Palestine takes no position on this matter. However, we are concerned that *this resolution waters down US opposition to Israeli military occupation and colonization of Palestinian land*.

And passing a resolution supporting Palestinian statehood without actually *pressuring Israel to allow for Palestinian sovereignty* is pointless and counterproductive.

That's why we need you to *pick up the phone right now* and call your Representative about this resolution.

Find your Representative's contact info here [ [link removed] ].

When someone answers, please *ask if your Representative is planning to vote for or against the resolution*, or if they will be abstaining. Ask why they are planning to vote this way.

* If they are *voting for* the resolution, ask them to supplement their vote by explaining the concrete steps they will take to end Israeli occupation and colonization of Palestinian land.

* If they are *abstaining or voting against* the resolution because it is not strong enough on Palestinian rights, then please thank them.

* If they are *voting against* the resolution because they do not support Palestinian self-determination, then express your opposition.

After you call, *please let us know how it went [ mailto:[email protected]?subject=HRes326%20call ]*.

Earlier this week, AMP sent *this memo [ [link removed] ]* to each Representative detailing our concerns with the resolution. Please check it out if you'd like more background info for your call.

We've also recently shared *this memo [ [link removed] ]* with Members of Congress with our ideas for concrete steps they can take right now to pressure Israel to end its illegal colonization of Palestinian land.

As Congress considers another toothless resolution calling for Palestinian statehood without any pressure on Israel, we thank you for taking action to make sure that Representatives are hearing from their constituents who are demanding *bolder support for Palestinian rights*.

Sincerely,

Jamal Najjab
Director of Government Relations

PS: Join us for our sixth annual *Palestine Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, March 22-24 [ [link removed] ]*.
