As salaamu alaykum, Indiana—
This is unthinkable.
The House is currently circulating discharge petitions — a legislative vehicle that could force a vote on the Senate's supplemental $14 billion military aid package to Israel. House Members must NOT sign this petition. If they do, the consequences are dire and will further perpetuate the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
Tell your Member of Congress NOW to not sign the discharge petition.
We need to STOP this petition and prevent the vote on a bill that would potentially approve over $14 billion in new, unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel. Since October, Israel has killed over 39,000 Palestinians in Gaza, restricted humanitarian aid amid starvation, and is ready to invade Rafah, where millions of civilians are sheltering.
Say NO to additional U.S. military funding for Israel.
Because the Senate has already passed this bill, if it also passes the House, it will then head to Biden's desk where he is expected to sign the bill into law.
The reality is this, Indiana:
Millions of people across the country are demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and calling for an end to Israel's brutal occupation — and members of Congress need to know we are all paying attention at this very moment.
With more than 39,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza since October — two-thirds of whom are women and children — we have to stop the U.S. from sending more arms to Israel.
Tell Congress Now: No more funds for genocide.
Thank you for everything you do.
In solidarity,
Yasmine, Linda, Ishraq, and the team at MPower Action
