11/4/26 UPDATE - ALL HANDS ON DECK: Right now members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and other leaders in Congress are negotiating the final bill text of the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). THIS IS OUR BEST AND LAST CHANCE TO PUSH FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE DEADLY MERGER PROVISION FROM THE NDAA. Representative Ro Khanna and Senator Chris Van Hollen are currently circulating letters in the House and Senate calling for the provision's removal. Contact your representatives today to urge them to sign these letters and publicly oppose the NDAA as it stands.

Background:

As our movements build undeniable momentum towards ending U.S. funding for Israel’s crimes, President Trump himself has been forced to bow to public pressure, claiming on election day that U.S. Foreign Military Financing (FMF) to Israel will be phased out by the end of 2026. The statement is jaw-dropping and a testament to the power of our organizing –– but we also know it's a ruse. In reality, the Israeli state and its allies have been organizing behind the scenes for months to further entrench the U.S.-Israel alliance through a dangerous new framework.

Buried within the annual U.S. military spending bill is a chilling AIPAC-backed proposal, dubbed "the Deadly Merger,” that would integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries (Section 219 in the House and Section 1217 in the Senate.)

In total, the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would:

1. Increase military spending to a whopping budget of $1.15 trillion amidst a devastating affordability crisis and the ongoing assualt on Iran.
2. Integrate U.S. and Israeli military technology, intelligence systems, and research through "data fusion" and weapons co-production.
3. Rob voters of transparency and accountability by shielding the deadly U.S.-Israel military merger from Congressional oversight.

We have a critical window of opportunity right now to pressure lawmakers to block these disastrous proposals, and it’s more important than ever that they hear from their constituents.

Call your lawmakers in the House and Senate TODAY to demand they:

(1) Publicly oppose any policies seeking to merge the U.S. and Israel's military technology infrastructure and intelligence. Sign onto Representative Ro Khanna's letter (House members) and Senator Chris Van Hollen's letter (Senate members) calling for the removal of Sections 219 and 1217 from the FY27 NDAA, OR make a separate statement about opposing the Deadly Merger provision.

(2) Publicly commit to voting NO on the NDAA. A "no" vote demonstrates powerful opposition to the Iran war, the outrageous proposed Pentagon budget allocations, and ongoing U.S. complicity in Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
