Support the Resolution to Block Arms Sales to Israel

In February 2025, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) filed four Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to force votes in the Senate to block the sale of $8.56 billion in offensive U.S. weaponry to Israel. Sanders has cited the human rights violations of Israel’s continued bombardment of Gaza and blockage of aid into Gaza in his JRD. Additionally, on March 31, it was found that Israeli troops executed 15 Palestinian medics clearly marked as such, buried them in a mass grave along with their ambulances, then plowed it over with military bulldozers.

Attacking civilians and rescue personnel and blocking humanitarian aid violates principles outlined in the Fourth Geneva Convention, and assistance to any government which engages in a consistent pattern of human rights violations is prohibited under the United States Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. To continue funding the Israeli government’s bombardment and starvation of the people of Gaza is in direct violation of international and domestic law.

Call your Senators today and demand they support Senator Sanders’ Joint Resolution of Disapproval. A vote is expected in during the week of April 1st.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I’m calling to demand that [REP/SEN NAME] support Senator Bernie Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block the sale of weaponry to Israel. The United States cannot continue to fund and supply the Israeli government while it continues its atrocious attacks on Gaza, blocks humanitarian aid, and violates international law.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
