In this week’s Action for Peace, we focus on efforts to:
💣 Stop escalating U.S. weapons transfers and militarization
🏥 Demand investment in healthcare and human needs over war
🛑 Oppose expanding violence in Lebanon
📚 Learn about democracy, displacement, and the ongoing Nakba
Take Action
💣 BLOCK ANOTHER MASSIVE WEAPONS SALE TO ISRAEL
The Trump administration is attempting to push through another nearly $1 billion weapons transfer to Israel. Congress must reject continued military escalation and civilian harm.
👉 Petition Congress: Block the $992.4 million weapons sale to Israel
🏥 FUND HUMAN NEEDS, NOT ENDLESS WAR
Congress is considering another massive Pentagon spending package while communities face cuts to basic services and social programs.
👉 Tell Congress: Not another dime for Pentagon waste and weapons contractor payouts
👉 Tell Congress: Reject More Basic Needs Cuts via Reconciliation 3.0
🛑 STOP ESCALATION IN LEBANON
Last week, Israel bombed a residential building in Beirut in a strike reportedly coordinated with the United States. At least 2,659 people have been killed in Lebanon, while another 8,183 are wounded. Tell your member of Congress to co-sponsor Representative Rashida Tlaib’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution that would block U.S. support for this invasion and force Israel to de-escalate.
👉 Contact your Congress member to block U.S. support for the invasion
