DESCRIPTION:Join us for a critical conversation with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, who 
 introduced a historic bill – H.R.3565, the Block the Bombs Act, to 
 prevent the Trump administration from sending weapons to Israel. This is 
 the first bill in U.S. history to proactively block the president from 
 sending Israel the types of weapons that it has used repeatedly to commit 
 apparent war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in 
 Gaza through the genocidal violence Israel has been inflicting since 
 October 2023.\n\nWe’ll also be joined by Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia 
 University graduate student and outspoken advocate for Palestine, who is 
 currently suing the Trump administration after being detained for over 100 
 days without charges. During his illegal detention, he was separated from 
 his wife and missed the delivery of his newborn son. To this day, Mahmoud 
 continues to fight against the threat of deportation.\n\nAs the U.S. 
 continues to support Israel’s devastating genocide in Gaza, communities 
 across the U.S. are also facing intensified state violence. This webinar 
 explores the deep connections between attacks on migrants in the U.S., the 
 weaponization of ICE against people speaking up against the genocide, and 
 U.S. participation in Israel’s occupation and genocide on 
 Palestinians.\n\nFrom Gaza to the United States, we’ll examine how U.S. 
 policy drives displacement and repression — and how grassroots resistance 
 is pushing back.\n\nOther speakers include:\n\n• Pedro Rios, Director of 
 the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S./Mexico Border 
 Program\n\n• Brad Parker, Associate Director of Policy at the Center for 
 Constitutional Rights\n\nFacilitation will be provided by Amira Hassan of 
 IMEU Policy Project and Nusaiba Mubarak from AFSC.\n
