Your senator needs to hear from you right now.

Dear Jan,   Time’s running out to stop a massive weapons shipment to Israel, worth $8.8 billion.   The devastation continues to mount: Israel has killed at least 322 Palestinian children in Gaza just since breaking the ceasefire two weeks ago. Israeli settlers have violently attacked Palestinian families in Masafer Yatta, and Israeli tanks are rolling through the West Bank. These horrifying escalations come as Israel continues to block any type of aid from entering Gaza, forcibly starving Palestinians and denying medical assistance.   The Senate is about to vote on whether to send 35,000+ more 2,000-pound bombs, and other deadly weapons to fuel this genocidal violence.     They need to hear from you RIGHT NOW. EMAIL CONGRESS: BLOCK WEAPONS TO ISRAEL For over a year, we've revealed how our tax dollars fund Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people. Now, thanks to champions in Congress, there's a chance to block at least one piece of this deadly war machine.   The $18 billion in weapons funding we already sent in 2024 could have housed 2.13 million families or provided healthcare for 6.23 million children here at home. It's time to fund care, not killing.   Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block these massive bombs—the exact type of weapons used in countless documented atrocities.    As Israel continues wiping out Palestinian families daily in Gaza, we cannot allow our government to send more deadly weapons.    This week, your senators will be forced to go on record with their vote. Will they choose human lives or weapons manufacturers' profits? TELL CONGRESS: VOTE YES ON THESE RESOLUTIONS This is the moment to show the surge of opposition to arming Israel's genocide. The majority of Americans—61% of voters—support withdrawing military funding to Israel. When you email your members of Congress, you're standing with this majority and with justice.   The vote could happen anytime today or tomorrow. Your message now could make the difference on where your members of Congress stand, especially if they’re on the fence. In the last vote in Nov. 2024, nearly 40% of Senate Democrats voted to block weapons to Israel—significant movement toward long-term change.   Don't wait: tell your members of Congress to vote YES on this critical bill today.
