1/25 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

People in Gaza are starving to death. The IPC predictions from December have been unfolding before our very eyes, and still, you’ve done nothing. Earlier today, 1/25, approximately 20 people were murdered and 150 wounded while waiting in northern Gaza for desperately needed humanitarian aid. Israeli tanks barbarically fired into the crowd of civilians – the ammunition used to kill and maim was given to them by our country.

Can you imagine surviving horrific conditions for over a 100 days, slowly starving to death, desperate for food for yourself and family, waiting in line as directed to hopefully get some aid, and then being fired upon? The 20 people murdered today died hungry. The 150 wounded have no access to medical care to ensure survival of those injuries. How many of the 150 will die due shock from amputations done with anesthesia, infection – other preventable outcomes?

I demand that you: 

– Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank, and all areas the Israeli military is murdering or otherwise violating the human rights of Palestinians

– Call for the immediate end of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom, peace, and their human rights

– Call for the immediate release of Palestinian “prisoners” (hostages) held captive in Israeli military prisons

– Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing Leahy Law

– Reallocate all funds given to Israel to ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of

– Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws

– Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet

– Stop the militarization of our police by ending all cross-training done with the Israeli military, ceasing the construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, and all other ways this is accomplished

– Pass legislation that prohibits any governmental action that would target any ethnic, religious, or other minority group (including Palestinians), either in the U.S. or abroad, by restricting humanitarian or financial aid, infringing on their human rights, or other actions that would otherwise bring harm or cause undue burdens on said groups
