Thank Bernie Sanders and the Senators who voted YES to blocking arms to Israel

Senators who voted yes to block arms to Israel

In a historic vote, 19 U.S. Senators stood with Sen. Bernie Sanders to block $20 billion in U.S. arms to Israel. The vote didn’t pass, but let’s be clear: the tide is turning.

Take this moment to thank the U.S. Senators who supported the Sanders resolutions and voted to block U.S. arms sales to Israel now.
If you are a constituent of any of these Senators, you can also send them a letter here.
There has never been a Congressional vote like this before. Let us keep building from this day and ensure Congress does its job by upholding U.S. law and ending "blank check" support to Israel.

This historic vote happened, in no small measure, because of persistent grassroots organizing and advocacy.

Poll after poll has shown that a majority of us want to end U.S. arms sales to Israel and end Israel’s war on Gaza.¹

Thank you for taking action for human rights and voting yes on the JRD

Thank you for supporting Senator Bernie Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD) under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).

For months, millions in the United States have called on the Biden administration to enforce U.S. law around the sale of offensive arms that have already killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. You chose to heed that moral call and speak out for human rights despite vigorous lobbying in opposition.

Thank you again for joining and supporting Sen. Sanders’ JRD.

Sincerely,
