"This is the worst stage of the genocide yet. Israel is starving and slaughtering Palestinians en masse in northern Gaza, and burning alive Palestinians like 19-year-old Sha'ban al-Dalou at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. All with U.S. weapons and military funding.
The U.S. Senate will hold the first vote in history to directly block weapons to Israel. Senators Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, and Jeff Merkley have introduced six Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to halt a $20 billion weapons deal approved by the Biden administration.
Each member of Congress will be forced to go on record with where they stand, with votes expected in mid-November. These resolutions require both chambers of Congress to pass and be signed by the president.
The U.S. must stop arming Israel now. Our tax dollars should fund care, not killing. Email your members of Congress now to demand they:
- Cosponsor and vote YES on all six Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block the $20 billion weapons deal to Israel
- Support an IMMEDIATE arms embargo to halt all U.S. weapons to Israel and enforce U.S. law
- Cosponsor and vote YES on H.R. 9649 to restore funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for life-saving aid"
