CALL YOUR SENATORS: VOTE YES TO BLOCK WEAPONS TO ISRAEL

As Israel’s starvation of Palestinians in Gaza reaches famine level and as the number of Palestinians killed by Israel’s genocide surpasses 60,000 people, here’s something important you can do right now to end US complicity in these horrors. 

We just learned that as early as tonight, the Senate will be voting on two resolutions introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders to block Israel from getting more weapons. 

There’s no time for emails. We need you to pick up the phone right now and ask your Senators to vote for S.Res.34 and S.J.Res.41 today.

CALL YOUR SENATORS: VOTE YES TO BLOCK WEAPONS TO ISRAEL

Since Israel’s genocide of Palestinians began in October 2023, the Biden and Trump administrations have delivered more than $30 billion in weapons to Israel, making us not only complicit in Israel’s actions, but partners in crime as well. 

Just yesterday, we released a new poll showing that nearly 80% of all New York City Democratic voters support restricting weapons to Israel. And a Gallup poll also out yesterday showed that Americans oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza by a two-to-one margin.

The American people object to our weapons and tax dollars being used by Israel to inflict genocide against the Palestinian people. 

Tonight, Senators will vote on whether they should block weapons to Israel.

Let’s make their phones ring off the hook today to make sure they understand that enough is enough. No more weapons to Israel!

We’ve made it easy for you to call your Senators. Just click this link, enter your address and cell phone number, and we’ll provide you with a sample script and connect you with your Senators. 

It’s fast, easy, and makes a huge difference in how your Senators vote tonight.

Thank you for taking action!
