DESCRIPTION:Join us at Heyma Coffee on Saturday, September 12th, from 12pm to 2pm to 
 take action for Palestine and against the deepening integration of the U.S. 
 and Israeli militaries.\n\nAs Israel's devastating war in Gaza continues, 
 violence and displacement intensify in the West Bank, and military attacks 
 across the region continue to cause widespread suffering, we are calling on 
 Congress to take action.\n\nWe will be urging our elected representatives 
 to:\n\n• Support an arms embargo on Israel\n• Support the Block the 
 Bombs Act\n• Oppose Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget\n• 
 Reject Section 219 of the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), 
 which would significantly expand U.S.-Israel military cooperation and 
 integration in areas including defense technology, research, data sharing, 
 and joint production\n• Demand the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu 
 Safiya and all Palestinian prisoners\n\nSection 219 of the FY2027 NDAA 
 would establish a U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative and 
 deepen collaboration between the two countries' defense systems and 
 industries. Members of Congress have introduced an amendment to remove the 
 provision from the bill.\n\nDr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan 
 Hospital in North Gaza, was arrested by Israeli forces on December 27, 
 2024, after Israeli troops stormed the hospital. He was detained along with 
 other medical staff and patients. Reports have raised serious concerns 
 about his health and treatment in detention, making international pressure 
 for his release especially urgent.\n\nScripts, congressional addresses, 
 stamps, and postcards will be provided.\n
