8/25 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

Will you ensure that the polio vaccination efforts by the WHO, UNRWA, and other global humanitarian organizations aren’t targeted by Israeli forces? I never thought this would be a question I’d ever need to ask, but given what we’ve seen since 10/7, the likelihood of this lifesaving effort being subjected to Israeli attacks seems high. Gaza’s first case of polio in 25 years is a deadly symptom of the complete, intentional destruction of the healthcare, waste management, and other necessary infrastructure to support life.

I demand that you:

– Hold Israel accountable for a permanent, immediate ceasefire, their violations of the Genocide Convention, and gross human rights violations by any means necessary

– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

– Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7

– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law

– Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA

– Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict

– Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level
