These two campaigns deserve our special attention. It is too bad the titles sound very similar. But all that we are asking is two phone calls. I just made them myself, and it took about three minutes. -Fred

"Block the Bombs to Israel" campaign:
Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in
October 2023, the US has given more than $30 billion in taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to enable its atrocities. The US is not only complicit in Israel’s killing of more than 60,000 Palestinians–our weapons make us partners in crime.
Rep. Ryan's office reports they're not hearing much from constituents about the Block the Bombs to Israel Act (HR3565) - but your voice can change that. Constituent pressure is working. Representatives who were always pro-Israel and take AIPAC money are now co-sponsoring this bill because voters called their offices and put pressure on them. 37 House Democrats have already signed on.URGENT: Call Rep. Pat Ryan's DC Office About HR3565 (Block the Bombs Act).
Call Rep. Ryan: (202) 225-5614
As Israel escalates its genocidal violence by killing and starving Palestinians, and by driving them from their homes, it’s time to Block the Bombs!
