Vote to value Palestinian civilian’s lives

This proposed foreign military sale to Israel outlined in S.J.Res. 111 should not proceed.

Disappointment in vote on joint disapproval resolutions on Gaza

I am deeply disappointed and ashamed of my senators voting to continue to arm Israel. California is supposed to be a shining beacon of progressivism and human rights.

DO NOT PASS SR4127

This bill poses a serious risk to freedom of speech and expression by incorrectly conflating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism. Federal laws already prohibit discrimination and harassment based on race, color, or national origin, including antisemitism. S. 4127 is an unnecessary
