Tell Your Senator to Support an Arms Embargo

On September 23, 2024, Senators Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, and Jeff Merkley introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval that aim to stop a $20 billion weapons shipment approved by the Biden administration. This is a historic opportunity; Congress has never voted on an arms embargo against Israel during its nearly 100 years of occupation of Palestine and Gaza. The Joint Resolutions are likely to be introduced when Congress reconvenes in November.

Call and email your Senators immediately and tell them to block these weapons, and to support a full arms embargo on the Israeli government to save Palestinian lives.

Demand that San Diego County Remove its Biased and Dangerous Educational Materials

The San Diego County Office of Education released a so-called resource guide on its website purporting to educate families, educators, and community members about events in Palestine and Gaza since October 7, 2023.

The one-sided narrative in the resource page threatens to encourage silencing Palestinian advocates, fuel anti-Arab and Islamophobic sentiment in schools within San Diego County, and perpetuate the violent incidents that Arab and Muslim students have already confronted within our community.

Please email county authorities now to “demand immediate removal of this instructional resource page until the County fulfills its responsibilities to include accurate, unbiased content that reflects multiple perspectives based on sound research.”
