Urgent Action Required to Stop Genocide in the West Bank
I am writing to you regarding the escalation of violence by Israeli forces in the West Bank, which Israel illegally occupies. On August 28th, Israel launched a major military incursion, deploying armoured vehicles, bulldozers, snipers, drones, and aircraft. Homes and businesses have been reduced to
“Oct 7th was preventable.” Do you think Israel really wants peace?
Our voices as your constituents don’t seem to be relevant to you. Maybe this Israeli man whose mother was killed on October 7th is importing enough to listen to? (https://www.democracynow.org/2024/9/3/israel_strike#transcript) Yonatan Zeigen is an Israeli peace activist, trained mediator and soci
Listen to the people
Perhaps you have noticed that the number of petitions, emails, and phone calls you’re getting about Palestine have slowed significantly. Do not think that this is because you’re winning. Do you know what this slowdown actually signals? That the people have lost faith in the system. If any of you h
“Dangerous escalation” of West Bank raids - Arms Embargo NOW
From Al Jazeera on September 2: Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories, says Israel's recent deadly raids in the occupied West Bank mark "a dangerous escalation.” "Israel's genocidal violence risks leaking out of Gaza and into
Cancel student debt, boost economic potential, address inequities
Higher education expands opportunities for all Americans and strengthens our society as a whole. The growing student debt crisis in America has reached an unsustainable level, with over 45 million people collectively owing $1.6 trillion. This immense burden stifles economic mobility and undermines t
No support for IDF
Stop protecting and supporting and funding Israel. The murder, sexual abuse, violence, starvation of innocent children, all of it must stop now, and that means not funding Israel, not giving them weapons, and not supporting them in the media. Permanent ceasefire NOW. Arms embargo NOW. Release of
Today, 9/3, Israeli forces murdered a 14 year old boy and 17 year old girl in a targeted airstrike in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, and murdered another 8 people in line at a bakery waiting for bread in Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza. 5 journalists were injured by targeted gunfire from Israeli forc
Harris offers responsible leadership, unity after Trump's divisive rhetoric
The American people deserve a president who will uphold democratic norms and the rule of law.

Urgent request for help with Texas's rapidly changing gender marker policies
I just learned tonight that my state (Texas) has made it impossible for me to change my gender marker on my driver's license and that vital statistics are instructed (perhaps unlawfully) to block gender changes to birth certificates as well. Government officials have quietly been instructed to make
Reprimand Israel's assaults on Palestinian journalists, impose arms embargo
The mistreatment and torture of Palestinian journalists by Israeli forces is a grave violation of human rights and press freedoms. The story of Abdel Mohsen Shalalda, who endured severe beatings, cigarette burns, and inhumane conditions during his unjust 6-month detention, is appalling. Shalalda's e
Urge restraint, diplomacy for Ukraine-Russia conflict resolution
Russia's indiscriminate and unjustified attacks on civilians in Ukraine violate all principles of warfare and human rights.

I am absolutely horrified at the ongoing violence and destruction Israeli forces have caused in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.

ARMS EMBARGO ISRAEL NOW

Condemn the airstrike on Baptist Hospital. Impose an arms embargo on Israel now.
The recent airstrike on the Baptist Hospital, is a grave violation of international law and human rights.

You are not saving hostages - Permanent Ceasefire and Arms Embargo NOW
The rhetoric claiming to prioritize the rescue of Israeli hostages doesn’t hold when the Biden administration has sent and continues to send weapons like U.S. made 2000 pound bombs, which has leveled entire buildings, and 500 pound bombs, which destroy and kill people within a 65 foot radius. It is
America is a failed experiment
It is clear now that Israel has invaded and is killing and terrorizing people in the West Bank, that you have no intention of ending this genocide, and in fact you have been affording them cover to expand it. My status as a lifelong Democrat will end this election cycle as I will be voting for someo
I am absolutely horrified at the ongoing violence and destruction Israeli forces have caused in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. As we've seen the disturbing escalation in the genocide in Gaza, the same violence is escalating against all Palestinians across occupied-Palestine. Palestinians i

Ukraine Conflict
Please expand and loosen up the limits on the weapons sent to Ukraine. They need to be able to hit Russia hard as possible. The Ukraine’s fight has gone well and they need to be able to deliver the finish.

END THE GENOCIDE
As an American, a tax payer, and a person of the Global Majority, I am BEGGING for you to STOP SENDING AMERICANS’ MONEY TO ISRAEL. Please stop. And please urge your fellow party members to SPEAK UP for an arms embargo against the Israeli government. DONE
Please reconsider your unconditional support of Israel. Since you are no longer seeking a second term, you have a unique opportunity to stand up to Israel’s over zealous attacks on Gaza. Yes, they have a right to defend themselves and, as with the Ukraine, in the defense of democracy, I believe U
Impose an arms embargo on Israel for targeting WFP aid workers

Please don’t give in to extremists. As a concerned citizen who believes government should work for the good of everyone, I’m tired of one group demanding their views take priority over the rest of us. But this week, a far-right group of lawmakers is threatening to block any bill that’d keep our go
