The Dam is Breaking. It’s overdue for Congress to act: No More Weapons to Israel.

Dear Email,

As early as this evening, the Senate will vote on two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders, S.J.Res.34 and S.J.Res.41, to block over $657 million worth of arms sales to Israel.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Call and Email Your Senators

[We know, calling can be uncomfortable, but it’s essential. Flooding their offices is how we break through the noise and make it undeniable: their constituents want them to block these arms sales.]

This is a defining moment. These resolutions offer the most straightforward, most immediate path to halt U.S. weapons transfers that are fueling Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

And for the first time since the genocide began, we’ve witnessed the wall of silence cracking. In just the last few days, we’ve seen the word famine on front pages of news outlets that had once engaged in denial over Israel’s war crimes, engineered starvation said aloud on the Senate floor, and war crimes spoken with conviction. Politicians who once remained silent, or didn’t speak loudly enough, are finally beginning to condemn Israel’s deliberate starvation tactics.

That makes this vote even more urgent. This is the moment for Democrats, especially, to match their words with action.

Absolutely no Senator should oppose these JRDs. It should be a no-brainer. Continuing to send bombs and rifles while Palestinians starve and suffer at the hands of the apartheid state is not just immoral, it is illegal. U.S. law explicitly prohibits arms transfers to governments that:

  • Engage in consistent patterns of gross human rights violations, or
  • Obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Israel is doing both, and has been for far too long. From the bombing of hospitals and refugee camps to the mass killing of civilians, from blocking lifesaving aid and weaponizing food and water access, the evidence is overwhelming.

We’ve waited far too long. Call your Senators, email Congress, and spread the word to flood their offices.
