I am asking you to take immediate steps to deescalate violence in Gaza and Israel by calling for 1) a total and permanent ceasefire, 2) humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza, 3) an end to Israel's siege on Gaza, and 4) no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military. Please vote NO on the supplemental funding package to send more weapons to Israel. I support a permanent ceasefire, along with 62 Congressmembers, and 61% of American voters (https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2023/12/5/voters-want-the-us-to-call-for-a-permanent-ceasefire-in-gaza-and-to-prioritize-diplomacy). I'm urgently asking you to publicly call for a permanent ceasefire.
This is a genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza. As your office was recently informed by the Center for Constitutional Rights, there is legal liability for aiding and abetting genocide through congressional acts. In a new lawsuit, Palestinians are suing President Biden for complicity in genocide. You must take action now to stop genocide and end all U.S. complicity in Israel's violence.
