This week, Senator Sanders will force a vote in the Senate on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block a multi-billion weapons package to Israel. This is the time to call your Senators and demand they vote to block this deadly package of new weapons. Just two weeks ago, Israel launched a major new attack against the Palestinians, breaking the hard-won ceasefire and killing hundreds more Palestinians. With a vote happening this week, we need to flood Senators' phone lines to demand they vote to block these weapons to prevent further genocide upon the Palestinian people! Here's what to do: Call Senator Bernie Moreno at 202-224-2315 Senator Jon Husted at 202-224-3353 Here's a sample message: "Hello, my name is _____________, and I am an voter Ohio. I'm calling to urge the senator to vote Yes on S.J. Res 26 and S.J. Res. 33, Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block $8.8 billion in new weapons to Israel. Weapons like these have all been used by Israel to commit apparent war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, where the war has now claimed more than 50,000 Palestinian lives. With Israel having broken the ceasefire on March 17 by unleashing a massive offensive that has killed over 800 Palestinians since then, it's more important than ever to stop the flow of additional weapons to Israel. I appreciate your consideration, and I strongly urge the senator to vote in favor of these JRDs." This is a critical moment in the war. Israeli PM Netanyahu has stated that Israel has now "resumed combat in full force." Palestinians have already suffered over 500 days of brutal war and genocide, and now face resumed violence once again. Please call your senators today and demand they act to end the U.S. complicity in the violence and block these dangerous weapons from being used to further perpetuate genocide.
