Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Walk in the Woods in Tahoe National Forest…

Senate War Powers Act for Cuba

📣Take Urgent Action Now 📣
Call your Senators!!!

Please call your senators today and urge them to VOTE YES on S.J. Res. 124! Call your senator (Padilla and Schiff) at: (202) 224-3121

Suggested Message:

  1. I strongly oppose using our tax dollars to fight new wars while people in this country need affordable healthcare, housing, and food.
  2. Warfare against Cuba will only deepen suffering and damage relations with a longtime neighbor.
  3. Since the Administration’s tightened chokehold on the island, the shortages experienced before are now transitioning to complete lack. Cuba’s infant mortality rate has doubled: nearly 2000 newborns are dying every year.

Senator, please vote YES on S.J. Res. 124 today.

Please take one minute today to contact your senators and urge them to support it. And Take More Action Here!

Love These Israeli Teens!
