Floods and conflict in Sudan are preventing lifesaving humanitarian supplies from reaching millions of people in need. World Food Programme needs action NOW to halt famine and prevent it from spreading. The cost of inaction will devastate the entire region.

Much of the carnage in Gaza has been carried out with US-provided military equipment. That's why I will introduce a resolution to block this $20 billion arms sale to Israel. We must end our complicity in the immoral & illegal war against Palestinians. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

At a time of rising conflict around the globe, the U.S. should do more to proactively invest in building peace. Thank you Congresswoman Sara Jacobs and Rep. John James for leading this effort to reauthorize and strengthen the bipartisan Global Fragility Act. sarajacobs.house.gov/news/press-rel…

From Madeleine Cereghino: “The question we must ask ourselves is this: Are we willing to let 2 million people continue to face starvation because of the actions of a few? Can we, in good conscience, leave families, children, and the elderly without access to the basic necessities?”

Glad to have stood alongside Members of Congress leading the UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act of 2024 (HR 9649) and organizations working to ensure U.S. Government funding is reinstated directly to UNRWA. The U.S. remains the only major donor not to restore funding.

Too many in Gaza have lost someone they love.   Months ago, Congress blocked funding for UNRWA, the main source of humanitarian aid in Gaza. I’m leading the UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act w/ Rep. Pramila Jayapal & Jan Schakowsky because it’s a lifeline to thousands of families.

We're grateful to these members of Congress for standing up against dangerous and hateful attacks on Haitians and other migrant communities. As Rep. Barbara Lee said: "Hate speech leads to hate violence. It must stop." #LoveThyNeighbor

People in #Gaza are being starved. And our government is deeply complicit. The least Congress can do is stop blocking funding for the aid workers feeding them. Hassan El-Tayyab breaks down crucial new legislation and what you can do to help. fcnl.org/unrwa

In the last year alone and against my vote, Congress has sent more than $10 billion in taxpayer dollars to the extremist Israeli government – to buy more of the bombs & weapons they're using against the Palestinian people. Enough. U.S. complicity in this horrific war must end.

“Are we willing to let two million people continue to face starvation because of the actions of a few?” As Madeleine Cereghino said, that's the dire question Congress must reckon with. If the answer is no, lawmakers MUST act to restore #UNRWA funding now. fcnl.org/updates/2024-0…
