As-Salamu Alaykum, A few months ago, Congresswoman Betty McCollum introduced a historic and groundbreaking legislation, asking that American taxpayer dollars are not used to fund crimes against Palestinian children and families. House Resolution 2590 - The "Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation" Act recognizes the havoc wreaked on Palestinian families by the Israeli military during the duration of Israel's illegal occupation. Homes have been stolen, lives have been lost, and the future appears bleak. For over 70 years, while this crisis was ongoing, the American government and media turned a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people as they were tortured, killed, displaced, and occupied. The tide is turning in our favor, as politicians are finally acknowledging the struggles faced by the Palestinian people. House Resolution 2590 is on the table for co-sponsors, and you have the chance to convince your representatives to speak up for the rights of Palestinian children and families. Will you contact your congress member today and ask him/her to cosponsor H.R. 2590? We are on the right side of history, and are standing up for the bravest and most resilient communities. Join us in holding our representatives accountable for upholding the values they swore upon. Wassalam,
