HUMANITARIAN AID,
Calling for a permanent ceasefire of Israel’s war on Gaza and an end to US military aid
for that war and allowing the free flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza
Our Congressman Hakeem Jeffries has a consistent record of voting for and supporting unconditional military aid to Israel. He advocates for an "ironclad" commitment to Israel's security and has consistently rejected efforts by progressive Democrats to impose conditions or restrictions on U.S. support for military assistance to Israel.

Sponsored by NY8 Neighbors for a Gaza Ceasefire with Brooklyn For Peace and others.
There is now a measure buried in the proposed 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) titled the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” or Proposal 224. It would structurally bind the United States military to the Israeli military, permanently fuse the American and Israeli defense industries, and make future aid harder to monitor or condition.
Read more about Proposal 224.
This all comes at a time when the Israeli military has repeatedly used U.S. weapons in strikes that have violated international humanitarian laws in Gaza, as well as attacks on Lebanon, Syria and Iran.
We are asking constituents of Congressman Jeffries call him today to tell him "vote no on Proposal 224!
It’s quick and easy. Please call Congressman Jeffries’ office today at (718) 373-0033 and leave the following simple message:
“My name is [NAME]. I live in [YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD]. As a constituent, I am calling to urge you to vote against Section 224 of the NDAA.”
We are hoping to have 100 of his constituents make the call.
After you have made the call, please click here to let us know so that we can tally how many calls were made.
