World Beyond War and other groups will be holding a press conference outside Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s Madison office in opposition to Netanyahu’s planned address to the US congress the following day. The public is invited.

Letters have been sent to Sen. Baldwin as well as Rep. Mark Pocan asking for their response to Netanyahu’s visit. As of this writing, no response has been received.

Rep. Pocan had this to say in June about Netanyahu’s appearance before Congress:

“A group of us are meeting. We’re trying to figure out what’s the best to show that there’s not unanimity in Congress by any stretch of imagination for Benjamin Netanyahu. There is for the Israeli people, for the peace process, but Benajamin Netanyahu doesn’t represent either of those anymore.”
