DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nAs Israel seizes Rafah, turns Gaza to rubble, and blocks 
 food, water, and medicine to two million people, the world pushes back on 
 US-funded genocide. Canada’s Prime Minister backs an arms embargo on 
 Israel and countries in the Global South organize The Hague group to block 
 weapons shipments to Israel. Here in the U.S., organizations and 
 individuals are taking their outrage to the United Nations, to the 
 electoral arena, and the press and academia.\n\nJoin CODEPINK Congress as 
 we look at two major lobby groups, AIPAC and the weapons industry, and 
 uplift acts of resistance to genocide.\n\nFeatured Guests:\n\nFormer Rep. 
 Jamaal Bowman is back. Less than a year after losing a hard-fought 
 congressional Democratic primary battle, the unapologetically progressive 
 politician is launching a new super PAC called Built to Win to serve as a 
 counterweight to well-funded groups like the American Israel Public Affairs 
 Committee (AIPAC) and the United Democracy Project. Built to Win 
 specifically targets nonwhite voters who have become disillusioned with the 
 Democratic Party – a group that has been especially difficult for more 
 traditional PACs to reach. Bowman is a former educator who served, from 
 2021-2025, as House representative for New York City’s 16th CD.  After 
 being recruited by Justice Democrats, Bowman ran for Congress on an 
 anti-poverty, anti-racist platform to defeat 16-term incumbent Eliot Engel 
 in the 2020 primary. \n\nAnnelle Sheline, PhD, is a research fellow at the 
 Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a think tank dedicated to 
 advocating for a less militaristic U.S. foreign policy, and an adjunct 
 professor at Georgetown University. She served for a year at the U.S. 
 Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor's Office 
 of Near East Affairs before resigning in March 2024 over the Biden 
 administration's unconditional support for Israel's military operations in 
 Gaza. Sheline is also a non-resident senior fellow at the Arab Center of 
 Washington DC, as well as a non-resident fellow at Rice University's Baker 
 Institute for Public Policy. Her current work focuses on U.S. foreign 
 policy towards the Middle East, focused in particular on the impacts of 
 U.S. militarism and the Global War on Terror. She is the author of a new 
 report Under Primacy, Weapons Sales Will Always Supersede Human Rights.\n
