We need your voice again, ahead of a rapidly approaching Senate vote on a multibillion military funding package for the Israeli government, a disgraceful reward after its months of death and destruction.
The House of Representatives already voted to approve the funding package. But while the House overwhelmingly passed the bill, there was also a historic bloc of Democrats standing up and voting no. What was once knee-jerk, bipartisan support to send the Israeli government whatever military funding it wants, has started to break apart. Congress needs to hear from you now.
Nonetheless, 366 members of Congress took a shameful and unconscionable stance last Saturday, voting to support this warmongering legislation. They are receiving praise and thanks from anti-Palestinian voices and we need you to be louder. They should be ashamed of their vote and understand that they have infuriated the people they were elected to represent.
Our email tool will automatically ensure that your representative receives a message opposing their vote, while your senators receive a message calling on them to vote no in the coming days.
Passage of this bill in the House showed how far we have to go. But it also signaled the beginning of the end for what was once referred to as an “unshakeable” alliance — solely because of non-stop grassroots pressure.
For half a year, you have poured into the streets, kept the phones of your members of Congress ringing off the hook, and filled their inboxes with demands for a ceasefire and to stop arming Israel.
This military funding pack has passed the House and is heading to the Senate. But we cannot stop raising our voices. It is our job to crack open what was once bipartisan support for Israel.
Support from within the broader Democratic party for Israeli apartheid and genocide has cracked, and more politicians are starting to speak out. This is the beginning of the end to the U.S. enabling these atrocities. Every single vote against this bill will matter.
In solidarity,
Beth Miller
Political Director
P.S. Every single vote against military funding counts. Tell Congress now: no more money for genocide.
