DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nIsrael’s genocide in Gaza relies on a steady stream of 
 weapons –attack jets, bunker busters, cluster bombs, artillery —from 
 the United States, where Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and 
 other war profiteers count their profits, thanks to a complicit White 
 House. The Washington Post reports the Biden administration “quietly 
 approved and delivered” without notifying Congress more than 100 separate 
 arms transfers to Israel since October 7th. \n\nAs Israel bombs and 
 prepares for a ground invasion of Rafah, a distribution point for miniscule 
 amounts of Israel-approved food and water, the White House is demanding 
 Congress approve $14 billion more in weapons transfers to Israel.\n\nWhat 
 is to be done? Besides pushing back in the halls of Congress and in our 
 home districts–besides shutting down bridges and train 
 stations–activists can boycott and protest companies complicit in 
 Israel’s occupation, as well as others directly arming the 
 genocide.\n\nJoin CODEPINK Congress as we feature American Friends Service 
 Committee (AFSC) investigators and researchers who produced the report 
 entitled, “The Companies Profiting from Israel’s 2023-2024 Attacks on 
 Gaza.” \n\nFeatured Guests\nDov Baum, PhD, is the director of the AFSC 
 Action Center for Corporate Accountability. She was the cofounder of the 
 Coalition of Women for Peace in Israel, the Who Profits research institute, 
 and the Black Laundry direct action group. Dov holds a Ph.D. in Math from 
 the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.\n\nNoam Perry, PhD, is the Strategic 
 Research Coordinator for the AFSC Action Center for Corporate 
 Responsibility. He coordinates the Investigate project, researching 
 corporate complicity in state violence and human rights violations around 
 the world. Born and raised in Tel Aviv, Noam holds a Ph.D. in Law and 
 Public Policy from Northeastern University.\n\nDavi Sherman is an 
 investigative research fellow for the AFSC Action Center for Corporate 
 Responsibility. She researches corporate complicity in the prison 
 industrial complex, the migrant control industry, and the Israeli 
 occupation. She received her graduate degree in Criminal Justice Policy 
 from the London School of Economics.\n
