Wednesday, July 8 - Reject the Trump-Netanyahu Military Partnership / MI Monday and WI Wednesday Phone Banks / Indivisible Downtown Meeting 7/13
Indivisible Action: Reject the Trump-Netanyahu Military Partnership
Every year, Congress passes the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a massive defense bill considered a “must-pass” piece of legislation. Because it moves every year, lawmakers frequently try to slip in other policies that could not pass on their own. And unfortunately, even under Trump, many Democrats annually rubber-stamp this bill.
Trump and Netanyahu have worked closely over the past year and a half, partnering to commit devastating war crimes across the Middle East. Now, Congress is being asked to cement even deeper military cooperation and coordination with the Israeli government into US law.
At a time when the Israeli government continues its genocide in Gaza and military escalations across the region with the political and financial backing of our own government, Congress should not be making integration with Israel's military a permanent feature of US defense policy or locking future administrations into even closer cooperation.
This year's NDAA would expand military cooperation between the United States and Israel through joint weapons development, intelligence sharing, defense technology partnerships, and other forms of military coordination, all while reducing transparency and public oversight.

Call all types of voters -- not just those we know will vote like us.
Have meaningful conversations that focus on listening to voters’ concerns.
Gather insights to share with campaigns, so they can be responsive to voters’ needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach.
