Right now, Congress is trying to sneak through a TERRIFYING new law to give the Israeli military unprecedented access to U.S. weapons and technology – and they’re hoping we won’t notice.
Buried in the 500+ pages of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is Section 224 – a provision written by lobbyists and Netanyahu himself that would all but fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries, with practically no public oversight. It would hardwire our military support STRAIGHT into Israel’s ongoing campaigns of mass violence in Gaza and Lebanon – where tens of thousands of civilians have been killed or injured.
Long-time Our Revolution ally Rep. Ro Khanna tried to fight it in committee – but it passed anyway. So now we have to stand with Ro and Bernie and take the fight to all of Congress to show massive opposition.
Thousands of Our Revolution supporters are speaking out, and bipartisan concern is growing in Congress. Together, we can stop this backroom deal from becoming law and refuse to let our government be complicit in further atrocities.
Send an urgent message right now straight to Congress. Tell your Representatives to REJECT Section 224 and demand public accountability before it’s too late.
Section 224 would supersize weapons deals, surveillance tech, and intelligence sharing for years to come, no matter what voters might want. It would strip away even the limited Congressional checks that exist today, making the U.S.-Israel military partnership more secretive, less accountable, and even harder for the public – or even Congress itself – to monitor.
It comes as a growing majority of Americans – across party lines – oppose unconditional support for the Israeli government in the midst of mass violence. Right now, Congress should be wrestling with the moral and strategic cost of our military complicity in Gaza and Lebanon – not writing it into law.
That’s why a bipartisan group of leaders, including Bernie, Rep. Khanna, and Rep. Thomas Massie, are standing up and vowing to stop Section 224 – but they can’t do it alone.
This moment is our chance. Section 224 was written in the shadows, but public pressure has already forced lawmakers to pay attention. Your voice can tip the balance.
Don’t let Section 224 slip through on our watch. Take two minutes to send an urgent message to your members of Congress now and tell them: NO more blank checks for war.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
