Ask Congress to cosponsor historic resolutions to block weapons to Israel

Just yesterday, we wrote to you with the urgent and exciting news that, in a historic move, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is introducing today a joint resolution of disapproval (JRD) to stop the latest $735 million weapons sale to Israel while it is relentlessly attacking Gaza.

And just now, in another unprecedented move, we learned that Senator Bernie Sanders is introducing a Senate companion to this bill. We urgently need you to contact your Senators and Representative and tell them to cosponsor these resolutions!

Like its companion in the House, this resolution is the first one ever introduced in the Senate to block weapons to Israel and is a landmark step toward accountability for Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians. This didn’t happen in a vacuum: our collective efforts and massive pressure on Congress have gotten us to this crucial point. 

Yesterday, you made thousands of phone calls to Capitol Hill and look what happened as a result. Many Representatives have become original cosponsors of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution and now we have a Senate version, too!

We must keep up the momentum. We have a window of opportunity to do something truly historic, and no matter what happens, the tide has already turned. Palestine will be free.
