❗Before leaving for recess, the House passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), authorizing $1.15 TRILLION for the Pentagon, and HARDWIRING U.S. military support to Israel by tying the U.S. even more tightly to the Netanyahu government. ❗
Now the entire fight comes down to the Senate. Last month, Democrats in the Senate blocked debate on the NDAA because of Trump’s war on Iran, but our work is nowhere near done.
Negotiations are happening right now, and the ONLY way to stop this is if thousands of us speak out immediately and demand that the Senate stop Section 219 from becoming law.
Add your name now: Tell the Senate to strip Section 219 from the NDAA before it’s too late!
Section 219 was written by lobbyists and Netanyahu himself. The merger 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 US/Israel military partnership more secretive, less accountable, and even harder for the public – or even Congress itself – to monitor.
This outrageous plan comes as the tide is turning in DC. Last week, a MAJORITY of House Democrats (103 in total!) voted to strip $3.3 BILLION in military funding to Israel.
The truth is that a growing majority of Americans oppose unconditional support for the Israeli government in the midst of mass violence. That’s why a bipartisan group of leaders tried to stop the proposed US/Israel military merger with an amendment. Then, the House Rules Committee shut it down, preventing a full vote.
Now the bill has passed the House and the ONLY way to stop it is by overwhelming the Senate with opposition. Let’s make it clear: not one dime of our money should go to enable Israel’s collective punishment, targeting of civilians, or expansion of illegal settlements.
Take action now. Add your name to send a loud, unified message to the Senate: No more blank checks for endless wars, no secret deals, and no more complicity in oppression. Section 219 must go.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
