The relentless bombing of civilian areas, schools, and now an orphanage in Gaza by Israel forces is an unconscionable violation of international humanitarian law and a horrific act of violence against defenseless children. The targeting of an orphanage, which should be a sanctuary for society's most vulnerable, represents a new low and demands forceful condemnation from the international community. Nothing can justify such blatant disregard for civilian lives including children and women and the fundamental principles of human rights. Israel must immediately cease these indiscriminate attacks on Gaza and be held accountable for its actions to prevent further escalation and loss of innocent lives.

I demand you do everything in your power to:
– Hold Israel accountable to a permanent, immediate ceasefire and for their repeat violations of international law
– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid - Support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
– Secure the immediate release and safety of all hostages, including Palestinians held by Israel in "military prisons", including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7
– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce U.S. laws like Leahy Law and the Arms Export Control Act
– Resume full funding of UNRWA and allocate more funds to aid humanitarian efforts to rebuild Gaza, and provide Palestinians with the resources to survive and thrive
– Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict
- Void all anti-BDS laws and other laws that infringe on my right to freedom of speech to criticize any political ideology or country, and to use my money in ways that align with my values
