AMERICAN TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR MASSIVE BOMB SHIPMENTS TO 

ISRAEL TO CONTINUE KILLING! 

PLEASE SPEAK OUT AND OPPOSE CONTINUING ARMING OF ISRAEL! 

IT'S TIME FOR PEACEFUL SETTLEMENTS AND AN END TO KILLINGS!


Hold Israel accountable for the murder of Americans and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank!

Petition to the U.S. Senate:
We urge you to vote Yes on S.Res.852, the 502B privileged resolution requiring the Department of State to report to Congress on increasing violence in the West Bank, including Israel's killings of Americans in the West Bank, and its abuse of Palestinian children in military detention.

Trump is trying to force through a massive bomb shipment to Israel as the Israeli government continues its genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Israeli violence has killed 9 Americans in the West Bank in the last four years, but no one has been held accountable.1

The UN estimates that Israeli settlers, backed by Israel's security forces, led 6 violent assaults on Palestinians or their property every single day this year.2

"What is happening right now is the erasure of humans, trees and stones, and anything that is Palestinian, by settlers under the support of the military," said one Palestinian resident of Kufr Malik.3 24 Senate Democrats are leading an effort to pressure Trump and Israel to end this wanton settler violence against Americans and Palestinians.4

Sign the petition: Tell your Senators to hold Israel accountable for the murder of Americans and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank!

The U.S. government's continuous funding and weapons support allows Israel to continue its horrific violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

"Violence is raging in the West Bank, fueled by Israeli settlers & the extreme Netanyahu government. America cannot sit idly by, especially as our own citizens are killed and wrongfully detained with no accountability," said Senator Chris Van Hollen, the lead sponsor of the resolution to force Trump's State Department to document Israel's violence for the world to see.5

Sen. Bernie Sanders said, "Every day, Palestinians in the West Bank experience horrific violence at the hands of Israeli settlers and security forces — and for years, the Israeli government has offered impunity instead of accountability."6 Exposing Israel's atrocities and holding settlers accountable is an important step towards real justice and safety for Palestinians.

Sign the petition: Tell your Senators to vote YES next week to report on Israel's human rights violations in the West Bank!

IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS


TELL Congress: Trump is withholding $256 million from the Kennedy Center while threatening to demolish the cultural institution. He's also wasting taxpayer money on his illegal "triumphal" arch that will include military snipers and drones. Sign the petition: Block Trump's authoritarian vanity projects, including the WH ballroom, NOW!


Trump is holding $256 million in funding for the Kennedy Center hostage. His sycophants on the Kennedy Center Board voted to shutter the institution due to financial issues that Trump created. The vote came just hours after a judge again blocked Trump's name from appearing on the center.1,2

Thousands of protesters gathered around the Kennedy Center on Friday in response to Trump's threats to outright demolish the building.3

Trump plans to illegally build his "triumphal" arch in D.C., which he says would include a military complex with snipers and drones.4 He's speeding ahead with construction of the grotesque White House ballroom. Our lawmakers must act now to stop Trump from remodeling the country in his MAGA image.

Sign the petition: Block White House ballroom and D.C. arch construction — and protect the Kennedy Center!

Trump is flushing hundreds of millions of tax dollars down the drain to fund his self-serving projects: gold-plated ballrooms and statues, a giant arch, a botched reflecting pool renovation, the potential destruction of the Kennedy Center, illegally minting U.S. coins with his face on them, and so much more.

It doesn't end there. The White House and Trump's loyalists are pursuing an endless stream of measures to glorify Trump and remake America in his strongman image, including efforts to "immortalize" him by putting his face on Mount Rushmore.5 His MAGA allies even used $5.5 million to rename a major Florida airport, "Donald J. Trump International Airport."6

Congress must act now to stop Trump's dangerous, anti-democratic self-glorification.

Sign the petition: Protect the Kennedy Center and stop Trump's vanity projects!

Thanks for taking action,
