URGENT! Support Senator Sanders Recent JRD’s to Block Trump Arms Sales to Israel
53 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!
I am writing to urge you to co-sponsor and support Senator Bernie Sanders' recently filed Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the Trump administration’s proposed arms sales to Israel. As you may be aware, these resolutions are a critical measure to ensure that the United States does not contribute to further civilian casualties and human rights violations in Gaza.
According to Senator Sanders’ press release, the arms packages in question include thousands of bombs and aircraft that risk exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in devastating civilian casualties, the destruction of essential infrastructure, and a severe humanitarian crisis that has displaced countless individuals. Given these realities, the U.S. mustn’t escalate the violence by sending additional weapons without clear conditions ensuring the protection of civilians and adherence to international law.
As a member of the Senate, you have the power to uphold America’s commitment to human rights and responsible foreign policy. By supporting these JRDs, you would be taking a stand against the unchecked flow of arms that risks further fueling the conflict and worsening the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine. The American people overwhelmingly support a policy that prioritizes diplomacy and humanitarian aid over unconditional military assistance.
I urge you to act now by co-sponsoring and supporting Senator Sanders' resolutions. The United States must demonstrate its commitment to peace, justice, and accountability by ensuring that our foreign policy aligns with our values.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and to seeing your leadership on this critical issue.
