What happened:

Yesterday, January 9, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) simply for investigating alleged Israeli war crimes.

The International Criminal Court plays a vital role in holding war criminals accountable, regardless of their nationality or political power. Its mission is to ensure justice for victims of the most heinous crimes imaginable, including war crimes and crimes against humanity.

By supporting sanctions against ICC officials, Congress has sent a dangerous message: Israel can act with impunity and evade accountability.

This vote undermines the global system of justice, weakening the very institutions designed to prevent atrocities and bring perpetrators to trial. If we let this stand, we risk sending the message that those in power can escape justice — a precedent that could embolden war criminals worldwide.

What you can do about it:

Use this tool to find out how your representatives voted and let them know where you stand.

Tell your representatives who voted for these sanctions that they are out of step with their constituents’ values. Thank your representatives who bravely opposed this dangerous legislation, and assure them that you stand with them.

We know that our opposition has powerful, well-funded lobbyists congratulating our representatives on these sanctions right now. We need to organize ourselves to counter their narrative and show them that their voters don't support protecting war criminals.

This is just one of many upcoming votes that will determine whether the U.S. holds Israel accountable or whether it continues to enable Israel’s genocide and war crimes.

It’s critical we show our representatives now that we are watching, and let them know we will not tolerate special exceptions for war criminals.
