In this week’s Action for Peace, we focus on efforts to:
💣 Resist deeper U.S.– Israel military integration
🔒 Free political prisoners and defend civil liberties
🛑 Prevent escalation and war with Cuba
📚 Learn about militarization, East Jerusalem, and systems of control
Take Action
🛑 OPPOSE PERMANENT U.S. ISRAEL MILITARY INTEGRATION
Congress is considering a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would permanently deepen integration between U.S. and Israeli defense systems through joint weapons production, AI military coordination, and expanded institutional ties. Critics warn this would reduce congressional oversight and further entrench U.S. involvement in regional conflicts.
👉 Tell Congress: Oppose the U.S.–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative (Section 224)
🔒 FREE POLITICAL PRISONERS
From Gaza to the United States, communities continue to mobilize for people facing detention, imprisonment, and restricted due process.
👉 Release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — Demand freedom for the Gaza hospital director who remains imprisoned.
👉 Justice for Mahmoud Khalil — Call on the Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen his immigration proceedings and terminate his case.
🇨🇺 NO WAR ON CUBA
Escalation and military intervention must not become normalized U.S. foreign policy. Congress has the power to reassert oversight and prevent another war.
👉 Support a War Powers Resolution: No War on Cuba
💣 PASS THE BLOCK THE BOMBS ACT
The Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565) would restrict the transfer of specific U.S. weapons used in attacks on civilians and help reduce U.S. complicity in ongoing violence.
👉 Tell Congress: Pass the Block the Bombs Act
