Action Alert
One timely call for peace, human needs, and an end to war funding.
📞 No arms for Israel. No new war funding. Cut the Pentagon budget.
Call the Congressional switchboard and ask to be connected to Senators Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson and your U.S. Representative.
Congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121
Sample message: I am calling to urge Congress to stop sending arms to Israel, oppose any new war funding, support measures like the Block the Bombs Act, and reduce the Pentagon budget. Our tax dollars should fund healthcare, education, housing, climate resilience, and human needs — not weapons, war, and corporate military contractors.
