President Biden has committed to with holding military aid for offensive weapons if Israel proceeds to invade Rafah. Israel has said FU to Biden, FU to the American people. We are going into Rafah. They are a sovereign country and can make that choice but the U.S. must stand by their word. THE U

End the Genocide

It is shameful that the University of Pennsylvania has been allowed to discriminate against 6 students, practicing their first amendment rights, by suspending them. The fact that this comes along with the Governor publicly calling for UPenn to break up the encampment is utterly disgraceful. Studen

I am writing to urge you to block the Ticketmaster-backed “Fans First Act” as it is currently written. This act would serve to strengthen Ticketmaster/Live Nation’s monopoly by making it more difficult to resell tickets - while on the surface this seems like a good thing, as it would allow less tick

Stop the genocide in Gaza

Stop the genocide in Gaza. You have that ability. It’s great that you’ve paused some of the bigger bombs but it’s not enough. Release the report detailing Israel’s abuses instead of stalling.

ISRAEL HAS BLOCKED THE RAFAH CROSSING - END THE GENOCIDE NOW

The law in the state of Pennsylvania needs to change. Constituents who register as "Independent" are unable to vote in the Primaries, and that means 1/3 of the registered voters have no voice.
