Tell your reps to sign Ro Khanna's letter: strip 219 from the NDAA!
There’s a new opportunity to stop the further entanglement of U.S. and Israel’s militaries in the NDAA! Representative Ro Khanna and Senator Van Hollen have put forth letters to remove Sections 219 and 1217 from the NDAA. This would be a huge victory, as the House and Senate bills are currently undergoing reconciliation and this is our window of opportunity to strip the merger from the bill. We believe the deadline to sign is November 6th, so write your representatives this week! Use our tool here to do so.
For more context: the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is to further enmesh the U.S./Israeli war machines. The goal of the measure is collaboration and shared data between the U.S. and Israel militaries in new, dangerous, and unprecedented ways. It reduces transparency in U.S. support of Israel's military, designates an executive agent to synchronize military and tech efforts between the two countries, and advances the violent collaboration beyond what's been status quo. As people of faith, this stands in opposition to what we believe about God's design for peace and human flourishing.
Our demand is that our representatives sign on to Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie’s letter to remove Section 219 from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in the conference between the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, along with its Senate counterpart, Section 1217.
Please take a moment today to write your representatives and demand the U.S.-Israel military industrial complex is not expanded further.
