get your congressperson to condition foreign aid to israel
as we have watched the settler violence in east jerusalem unfold, it has become clear that america must end its complicity in israeli human rights abuses against palestinians. this guide will show you how to contact your congressperson and get them to support h.r.2590. sponsored by betty mccollum, this bill in the house of representatives aims to condition foreign aid to israel and thus stop illegal destructions of palestinian buildings and forcible transfers of palestinian civilians.
also, there are some organizations that have already made similar resources. however, politicians' email filters often block out mass emails. going through this process independently is your best bet.
who represents you in the house?
if you don't already know who your congressperson is, click the link right below. just input your zip code and you'll find out.
path 1: if you only see one possible representative, congratulations! you just saved yourself a few steps. click on their name which should bring you to their personal house website.
path 2: if you see more than one possible representative, type - your town name, state congressional district - into google.
example: tenafly, nj congressional district
you should find out definitively who your rep is that way.
-----
go to the page of the house website you found after inputting your zip code and click on the name of your rep. this will take you to their website.
once you're on their website, click their "contact" button.
you may be asked to input your email and phone number.
in the form, title your email something along the lines of
"H.R. 2590 Request"
use the following text for your email, but please change some of the words:
I am writing to ask that you support Betty McCollum's House Resolution 2590. As Israeli behavior toward Palestinians worsens, America must confront the role it has played in these abuses. American taxpayers should not be implicated in human rights violations against Palestinians like home demolitions, forcible transfers of civilians, and the military detention of Palestinian children. H.R.2590 will end America's complicity in this violence and might just put an end to it altogether.
In short, I urge you to support H.R.2590.
Signed,
X
a better future is possible
