End the humanitarian crisis in Gaza NOW, prevent more innocent deaths
Text SIGN PKJTOI to 50409 — The catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza demands immediate and decisive action from Congress. Nearly a third of Gaza's population has not eaten for days, while 90,000 women and children urgently need treatment for malnutrition according to the World Food Programme. The head of the WHO has described it as "man-made mass starvation" - a crime against humanity unfolding in real time. Israel's withholding of essential aid and disproportionate military escalation are depriving millions of Palestinian civilians of their most basic human rights and dignity. Children are starving, families lack access to food, water and medicine as this unconscionable situation deteriorates daily. As a nation upholding democratic values, the United States has a moral obligation to forcefully condemn these atrocities and take concrete steps to protect innocent Palestinian lives. Starvation cannot be used as a tactic of war, and the oppression of an entire population is never justified. Congress must urgently leverage its considerable influence to compel Israel to immediately cease its brutal assault, lift all restrictions on humanitarian aid flows, and work toward a just and lasting peace that ensures the rights and security of both Israelis and Palestinians. Failing to prioritize human lives over politics will irreparably stain America's credibility on human rights. The American people demand their representatives take action to end this catastrophe and enforce respect for the inalienable rights to life, dignity and self-determination. The killing, oppression and deprivation of the Palestinian people in Gaza must stop now.

Children are starving. Support S. Res. 224 to help end the blockade in Gaza!
Text SIGN PFVBUQ to 50409 — There is no possible circumstance in which the intentional starvation of innocent people can be countenanced. That is why Senator Welch and his cosponsors introduced Senate Resolution 224, in which the U.S. Senate recognizes the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and “calls on the White House, Department of State, and other relevant United States Government agencies to urgently use all available diplomatic tools to bring about the release of the hostages, an immediate cessation of the blockade on food and emergency aid for Palestinian civilians, and a durable end to the conflict in Gaza. These do not seem like requests that any reasonable human being could object to, which is why I am writing to you to co-sponsor this Resolution. Since March 2nd, Israel has enforced a total blockade in Gaza, denying millions of Palestinians access to the very means of survival. International experts now warn that thousands of Palestinians are facing catastrophic levels of hunger, and another half a million are on the brink of starvation. This is not a natural disaster. This is manmade. It is the deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war, a practice unequivocally banned under international law. This resolution is narrowly and deliberately focused on the blockade and its devastating humanitarian toll. That’s why it has already drawn support from a growing and diverse group of co-sponsors, including Senators Booker (D-NJ) and Slotkin (D-MI). It is a clear and moral stand, unclouded by politics. Why you should co-sponsor it now: A Stand for American Values: President Franklin D. Roosevelt named "freedom from want" as one of the four essential human freedoms. Today, that freedom is under siege. Remaining silent in the face of mass starvation contradicts everything this nation has stood for as a beacon of humanitarian leadership and moral clarity. A Move in America’s Interest: The longer America is perceived as complicit—or worse, indifferent—the more we damage our credibility, our alliances, and our own national security. The world is watching. Senate support for this Resolution may assist in encouraging Israel to end the blockade, whose cessation would also remove a global driver of anger against the United States for its complicity in Israel’s inhumane approach to Gaza. We are at a breaking point. Every hour, this crisis deepens. Lives are being lost while the world debates. I, along with A New Policy, am asking you to act with moral courage and urgency. I implore you to co-sponsor Senate Resolution 224 and press the White House to help end this blockade before more lives are destroyed. Thanks.

Outlaw, fiddler, & folk hero James Macpherson (c.1675–1700) was hung in 1700 for being Romani. Prior to his execution Macpherson composed his famous “Rant”. Macpherson sang his lament on the gallows & smashed his fiddle before meeting his fate.
