CODEPINK Congress Action: Canada Bans Weapons to Israel

Action #1:

Capitol Calling Party–Calling Your House Rep 202-224-3121 (or email, tweet or comment on rep’s facebook page)

Hello, my name is _______________________ and I am your constituent in zip code _________. I am asking you to publicly oppose and vote NO on President Biden’s request to send 50 F-15 fighter jets and more bombs to Israel. Anyone who votes for this will be complicit in the unfolding genocide in Gaza. I also ask you to vote NO on a possible upcoming supplemental war spending bill–If the supplemental reaches the floor, vote NO on another $14 billion for weapons to Israel, no on another $60 billion to continue the war in Ukraine and no on another $8 billion to further militarize east Asia for a confrontation with China. Support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, a negotiated peace in Ukraine and climate cooperation with China. End US-Israel genocide now!
