Counter CUFI

The U.S. budget is immoral. It gives exorbitant amounts of money toward militarism, while underfunding needed programs in our communities.

Christian Zionist organizations like Christians United for Israel (CUFI) are lobbying our representatives to invest more of our tax dollars in weapons to Israel, despite the Israeli military's many human rights abuses against Palestinians.

We must do our part to counter their efforts! Write to your representative today urging them to end Israeli military funding, and instead #InvestinJustice.

Subject:

As your constituent and a supporter of freedom and peace, I strongly urge you to divest from violence and invest in the community needs to create safety and justice for all by adding your name to the Dear Colleague letter - led by Representative Ocasio-Cortez - to Secretary Pompeo expressing deep concern over the planned annexation of occupied Palestinian territory by the new unity government of Israel.

Members of Christians United for Israel (CUFI) -- a Christian supremacist, anti-Muslim, and antisemitic lobby --- may have contacted you asking you to give more funding to the Israeli military despite the many documented cases of human rights abuses, including annexation and the arrest of Palestinian children. This is immoral and out of line with Christian teachings. It is also a violation of the  Leahy Law. Today we call on you to stop investing in Israeli land theft and arrest of children, and instead invest in justice! That means equal rights to education, housing, safety, and livelihoods for all people, including Palestinians.

As part of that vision, I call on you to publicly push for Israeli accountability by ending the annual $3.8 billion in military funding, and to speak out firmly against Israeli annexation by adding your name to the Dear Colleague letter. This letter is a critically important step in showing that Congress will stand against annexation not just in word, but in deed. Current signers on the letter include Reps. Jayapal, Tlaib, and McCollum.

I am outraged to see continued prioritization of militarization over safety and justice for all: at home, our government fails to provide adequate PPE for healthcare workers to care for our communities during a pandemic, while investing in heavily armed police and military attacks on Black Lives Matter protesters. Abroad, our tax dollars continue to fund Israel’s moves towards codifying and expanding “annexation” of the West Bank, a process of land theft and displacement which has been the reality of Palestinians on the ground for years. This is the moment to stand firmly against militarism at home and abroad.

To join the letter, you can contact Gerardo Bonilla-Chavez at Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's office gerardo.bonilla@mail.house.gov

I write as a supporter of a coalition of organizations: Friends of Sabeel North America, Adalah Justice Project, DSA Palestine Solidarity and BDS Working Group, Eyewitness Palestine, MPower Change, and US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.

Thank you and I look forward to your response.
