CURRENT ACTIONS
Tell Congress to Oppose Trump’s Attack on Free Speech
March 12, 2025- This weekend, ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Green Card holder and Palestinian leader of protests at Columbia University, claiming his speech had ambiguous “foreign policy consequences” for the United States. President Trump has said clearly: this will be the first of many such arrests.
This is a blatant assault on free speech, civil rights, and the Constitution. It is the playbook of authoritarians, not of a democratic nation. Worse still, the Trump administration is disguising this attack as a fight against antisemitism, exploiting the very real concerns of our community to push an anti-democratic agenda.
We cannot be silent as the law is broken and democracy is eroded in our names. Representatives Jayapal, Raskin and Scanlon are leading a letter demanding answers from the administration about this unconstitutional abuse of power. But they need more support to stop this dangerous precedent.
Please join us in pushing back against this draconian attack on the freedom of speech. Click here to contact your Representative and urge them to sign on to this important letter before the deadline TOMORROW, March 13 at 2pm ET.
Call on Congress to Reject President Trump’s Criminal Gaza Plan
February 12, 2025- Over the past week, President Trump has double- and triple-downed on his dangerous proposal for the US to “take over” Gaza. His reckless insistence that the United States participate in the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza is a clear call for ethnic cleansing –a war crime.
Trump’s claim that this forced displacement could occur without US military involvement is both deceptive and absurd. The mass expulsion of a population of this scale would inevitably require force, making his denials not only unrealistic but also deeply irresponsible.
Congress must make it clear that not a single taxpayer dollar will be spent on the forced displacement of Palestinian civilians living there.
At a time when de-escalation is imperative, any US military intervention would be catastrophic. President Trump’s desire for the United States to “take over” Gaza poses a direct threat to regional stability and human lives, including those of American service members. His rhetoric alone has already inflamed tensions and jeopardized the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, endangering the release of the remaining hostages.
Senator Tim Kaine has introduced a vital resolution condemning any use of US military assets or personnel to take over Gaza.
Join us in calling on Congress to reject President Trump's illegal and immoral plan. Contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor Senator Kaine's resolution.

December 6, 2024- An Open Letter From American Jews in Opposition to the Establishment of Israeli Settlements in Gaza
We write today as American Jews who care profoundly about the safety, security, and future of Israel. We also care deeply about the Palestinian people, their lives and their right to national self determination and sovereignty.
Call on Congress to Codify Sanctions Against Violent Settlers
December 17, 2024- In February of this year, President Biden took an unprecedented step to curb settler violence by issuing Executive Order 14115 which allowed the administration to impose sanctions on individuals undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. Since its issuance, the Biden administration has used this Executive Order numerous times to sanction some of the most violent extremist settlers, outposts and organizations, and to cut off some of the funding sources for their movement, including crowdfunding websites.
Now, with just one month left in President Biden’s term, this Executive Order is vulnerable to being revoked by future administrations. This is why a new bill introduced last week by Senator Peter Welch and Representative Summer Lee is so important.
