Washington, DC | www.adc.org | November 15, 2024 – We need you to take action. Next week, for the first time, the Senate will vote on directly blocking weapons from being sent to Israel through Senator Bernie Sanders’s (I-VT) six Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD). As the Israel’s genocide continues to decimate Gaza and its war of aggression in Lebanon continues unabated, Congress must send a message to Israeli war criminals that we will no longer give them unquestioning support. ADC is pushing every Senator to vote for the JRD’s, your voice can make the difference.
Take Action Now: Demand That Your Senator Support the JRD
On October 13, Secretaries Blinken and Austin sent a letter demanding that Israel take concrete steps to address the humanitarian crisis it created in Gaza. The letter gave Israel 30 days to make certain specific changes or face potential disruptions in US aid.
Despite Israel receiving a failing grade from major humanitarian organizations on meeting the US conditions, the State Department this past Tuesday refused to follow through on its threats. There is no doubt that US law is not being followed, and Israel should not receive one dollar more in US support. When the Senate votes on the JRD’s, it will mark the first time that Congress will vote on stopping weapons to Israel, making your voice more important than ever.
The Biden Administration has lost all credibility when it comes to its complicity and participation in Israel’s genocide, going so far as to completely ignore US law. It is long past time for Congress to step in and do what President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and Secretary Austin will not – enforce US law and say no more weapons for Israeli genocide. Join with ADC and thousands across America in demanding that every Senator vote for all six JRD’s.
