DESCRIPTION:USCPR Phone Zap: Not My Tax Dollars\n\nDate & Time \nMar 6, 2024 beginning 
 10:00 AM in Bay Area\n\nDescription\nJoin USCPR on Wednesday, March 6 to 
 mobilize our masses and tell our elected officials: STOP ARMING ISRAEL! 
 You'll hear about our new Not My Tax Dollars resource, which you can use to 
 take action in your local community.\n\nAhead of the State of the Union, we 
 will be mobilizing to defend Rafah and to stop “THE DEADLY DEAL,” a $95 
 bilion spending package that just passed the Senate and now heads to the 
 House. The Deadly Deal includes $14 billion in weapons to Israel for arming 
 genocide, and the elimination of all humanitarian funding to the UNRWA aid 
 agency for Palestinian refugees, permanently.\n\nAt 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT, 
 we'll flood Congress’s phone lines together to let them know we're 
 watching as the U.S. government continues to back Israel's horrific 
 massacres and forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. Demand that your 
 elected officials call for a PERMANENT CEASEFIRE NOW and stop arming 
 Israel!\n\nJoin us this Wednesday, March 6 at 10 AM PT.\n\nYou and I have 
 seen over and over again what our tax dollars are funding in Palestine. The 
 Israeli military has now committed multiple flour massacres, shooting at 
 starved Palestinian people who are risking their lives to get flour from 
 humanitarian aid trucks in Gaza.\n\nYour activism, and the building 
 pressure of our movement, is finally forcing the Biden administration to 
 confront its horrific participation in genocide, as Vice President Kamala 
 Harris calls for a six-week temporary pause.\n\nBut make no mistake. You 
 cannot “pause” a genocide. The killing and all conditions designed to 
 exterminate Palestinian life must end.\n\nNow that the pressure’s on, we 
 must fight all the harder to push for a PERMANENT CEASEFIRE NOW, 
 humanitarian aid entry for the countless Palestinians who Israel is 
 deliberately starving, and an end to U.S. military funding to Israel. 
 Palestine must be free.\n\nStop arming Israel now! Tell Congress that you 
 reject their use of your tax dollars to fund genocide.\n\nOn our Zoom call, 
 I’ll walk you through our new Not My Tax Dollars site, which launches 
 tomorrow. You’ll get to see how to use our interactive U.S. Military 
 Funding to Israel map to see what your community’s tax dollars are 
 funding—and what community resources could be funded instead.\n\nPlus, 
 we’ll explore resources you can use to mobilize your local community to 
 reject arming Israel with your tax dollars.\n\nSee you on the Phone Zap 
 tomorrow.\n\nOnward to liberation,\n\nIMAN ABID\nOrganizing & Advocacy
