Hello everyone,
Please take a few minutes to CALL your Representative and Senators and insist that they STOP the major expansion of military integration with Israel that is buried in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Right now, there is a rare window of opportunity to strip this measure from the NDAA.
During the next two weeks, lawmakers will decide whether these provisions remain in the annual Pentagon spending bill. If they do, they would further deepen the integration of U.S. and Israeli military technology and industrial cooperation for years to come.
We need to make sure Congress hears from constituents before these negotiations end. Please call or write to the people who represent you and ask them to:
(1) Publicly oppose any policies seeking to merge the U.S. and Israel’s military technology infrastructure and intelligence, and sign onto Representative Ro Khanna’s letter calling for the removal of Sections 219 and 1217 from the FY27 NDAA.
(2) Block Trump’s $2.8 billion weapons shipment to Israel by introducing Joint Resolutions of Disapproval in the Senate and co-sponsoring the Block the Bombs Act in the House.
Here are the phone numbers to call:
SENATE: To date, only Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Jeff Merkley have signed Ro Khanna’s letter.
Senator Tammy Baldwin
DC Office (202) 224-5653. Madison Office (608) 264-5338.

As always, thanks for your support.
