United Voices is calling on Americans who stand against the ongoing crisis in Gaza to urgently contact their members of Congress and demand they refrain from signing the Democratic discharge petition that is currently making its way through Congress. This petition aims to secure a vote on the Senate’s previously approved $14 billion aid package to Israel, a move that follows Speaker Mike Johnson’s rejection of this package and his unsuccessful bid to pass a $17.6 billion unconditional aid package without any restrictions on military aid to Israel.

The discharge petition, spearheaded by Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-MA), has already found support among several representatives, signaling a critical moment for those advocating for accountability and human rights.

With the Democratic Party holding 213 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, there exists a real possibility for a procedural discharge petition to surpass Speaker Johnson’s blockade, should disaffected Republicans decide to join forces with Democrats to reach the necessary 218 votes.

Take Immediate Action to Promote Accountability and Human Rights

In this crucial juncture, United Voices emphasizes the importance of individual action. By reaching out to U.S. Representatives, Americans have a powerful opportunity to voice their concerns about the allocation of taxpayer funds, especially in light of actions by the far-right Israeli government that undermine human rights in Gaza, including the starvation of its population and military aggression.
