Act Now: Tell MOCs Thank You for Skipping PM Netanyahu’s Speech

Whether it’s partnering with Israeli and Palestinian groups, U.S. movement leaders, or activists like you, we don’t work alone — and the crucial pushback we saw on PM Netanyahu’s warmongering this week couldn’t have happened without dozens and dozens of members of Congress joining in.

Axios reports that well over 100 legislators skipped this political stunt. Others chose to attend and protest:

This leadership is how we’ll upend the misguided notion that more bombs and bullets will build security. It’s not easy for a member of Congress to take a brave stand against the war machine, and gratitude can go a long way to ensure they keep it up. That’s why if we want to see more actions like this, these members need to hear from you now:

We’re organizing a thank you message to members of Congress who protested and skipped PM Netanyahu’s speech. Help send a clear reminder that when people speak up for peace, the anti-war majority will be with them. Sign now.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s warmongering should have never been given a congressional stage. Thank you for choosing to show up for peace instead.

Your leadership is crucial to ending the violence, getting the remaining hostages home, and building a lasting peace in Israel, Palestine, and beyond. I urge you to continue listening to the overwhelming voices of people across the world, including constituents like me, and do everything you can to secure a ceasefire.
