Legislative Alert: Palestinian Rights Matter!

BFP Team
Tuesday, May 18, 2021
Call To Action, Israel/Palestine, Phone Calls

Rapid Response Needed 

Explanation: As the Israeli-Palestinian crisis deepens, AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and related organizations are generating one-sided pressure on members of Congress to “Stand with Israel.” 

One month ago, these groups prevailed on 330 Congressional Reps to sign a letter, insisting that, “reducing funding or adding conditions on security assistance would be detrimental to Israel’s ability to defend itself against all threats.” 

READ text of the letter

Note: All Brooklyn Representatives signed this letter (Deutch-McCaul) opposing any restrictions on US military aid to Israel.


We can observe the fruits of this “unconditional” US support in the unfolding tragedy in East Jerusalem and Gaza.
Our Representatives and two Senators need to hear from us ASAP:
Ask them to

  • Stand Up for the Human Rights of Palestinians
  • Demand an end to one-sided, unconditional US support for Israel.
  • And for Congressional Reps, Co-sponsor Resolution H.R. 2590, introduced by Rep. Betty McCullum, prohibiting the use of US funds to support the military detention of children, the demolition of Palestinian homes and further annexation of Palestinian territory.

To reach our elected officials, try going through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 Leave a message if necessary.
Or use Contact Elected Officials on Brooklyn for Peace website:

Please email bfp@brooklynpeace.org to let us know that you made the call.

This webinar will feature organizers from War Resisters League telling a few stories of those arrested on that momentous day of action.Register for Zoom link: https://www.codepink.org/06222022

NOW: Israeli forces are ramping up their attack on #MasaferYatta, arresting Sami of @YouthOfSumud. Israeli forces want to discourage local support for the villages at risk of forced displacement by targeting the activists spending their days and nights protecting the space.
