39] – Jewish Voice for Peace is doing a Power Half-Hour for Gaza: Channel grief & outrage into action to stop a genocide.  A year into the genocide in Gaza, we are overwhelmed with sorrow and rage. There are no words to describe the devastating pain of the past year in which the Israeli military has killed over 44,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 17,000 children. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have both declared that Israel must stop the genocidal acts being committed on the Palestinian people. And the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli military as it wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. JVP continues to come together as a political community in its daily half-hour to take action. Join in and take collective action to demand an arms embargo to Israel, immediate end to the genocide, a lasting ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians and Lebanon. All are welcome. All are needed. Get involved at 3 PM ET on Wed., July 2, Thurs., July 3, Mon., July 7 & Tues., July 8.

43] –  Join The most effective way to disrupt Trump’s legislation is to call key red state voters, and ask them to pressure their Members of Congress now that the House has to approve the bill just passed by the Senate. House Republicans have objections to the Senate version, and constituent pressure could push them to delay approval beyond Trump's deadline of July 4. This bill is becoming more hated the more people know about it. Sign up to join the National Virtual Phone Banks to Key House Members' Constituents on Wed., July 2 from 6 to 8 PM ET. Training will be provided. More dates may be added beyond Wednesday. This is organized by MoveOn, Working Families Power, Indivisible, and Community Change Action.
