DESCRIPTION:Protest Monday, May 13 at 6 PM -- outside of Lagunitas Brewery 1280 N. 
 McDowell Blvd., Petaluma -- where Congressman Jared Huffman is holding a 
 fundraiser after he voted for $17 billion to fund Israel’s genocide in 
 Gaza.\n\nOn April 20th, Congressman Huffman voted to lavish Netanyahu’s 
 extremist government with an additional $17 billion in unconditional 
 military aid. Despite everything. Huffman does this despite reports that 
 the very water that the people of Gaza depend on for survival is at risk of 
 destruction. Not what we would expect of a politician who prides himself on 
 his environmental record. This is ecocide, and Huffman is directly 
 complicit.\n\nHuffman sends more aid to the Israeli military as it bombs 
 more homes, and forcing millions from their homes, living in crowded camps 
 in Rafah, where the Israeli military will soon escalate its attacks. This 
 is domicide, and Huffman is directly complicit.\n\nHuffman sends weapons to 
 Israel even as it impedes international and U.S. aid from reaching starving 
 Palestinians. Beyond the brutal murder of the World Central Kitchen 
 workers, the Israeli military has slaughtered over 100 Palestinian aid 
 workers. The starvation of Palestinian civilians is a matter of Israeli 
 policy. Congressman Huffman, despite promises to the contrary, voted to ban 
 U.S. aid to UNRWA, that has the infrastructure vital to providing aid to 
 Palestinians. Further, it is against U.S. law to send military aid to a 
 state involved in impeding humanitarian aid, but Huffman instead bows to 
 political expediency rather than follow the law. No one is above the law, 
 not even a Congressman from Marin.\n\nIt is now clear that the whole of 
 Netanyahu’s policy in Gaza amounts to the crime of genocide. Congressman 
 Huffman is directly complicit in this genocide.  Huffman’s empty words of 
 concern do not matter when his actions that directly make possible these 
 crimes are before us. Huffman chose not to join 37 of his Democratic Party 
 colleagues, including moderates, and vote against this gift to the 
 Netanyahu regime. We are then left with no choice but to expose the moral 
 bankruptcy of Huffman’s support for Netanyahu.\n\nJoin us on Monday, May 
 13 at 6 PM outside of Lagunitas Brewery 1280 N McDowell Blvd., 
 Petaluma.\nFor further information, please write
