On June 17th, the Middle East Peace & Justice Action Committee will host a Tactical Tuesday zoom event to advocate for passage of HR 3465, the “Block the Bombs Act”.
Since the start of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza that began in October 2023, the US has given more than $30 billion in taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to enable its atrocities. The US is not only complicit in Israel’s killing of at least 54,000 Palestinians, our weapons make us partners in crime.
As Israel escalates its genocidal violence by killing and starving Palestinians, and by driving them from their homes, it’s time to Block the Bombs!
H.R. 3565, was introduced in the House by Representative Delia Ramirez, Illinois 3rd District, on May 21, 2025. The bill has 22 cosponsors and is described as the "Block the Bombs Act". If enacted, this would be the first time the US Congress has preemptively blocked weapons to Israel.
Polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans want to stop the flow of these deadly weapons, and this is a historic bill—the first time ever that Congress has tried to proactively block weapons to Israel—which does just that.
Don’t miss this chance to act TOGETHER as WILPF US.
Let’s amplify our voices and raise our visibility to make a difference
Tuesday, June 17
8am PT/10am CT/11am ET
We look forward to you joining us!
