We need a #CeasefireNOW – take action and see if your lawmaker has spoken out in favor of peace: The choice for the U.S., Israel, Palestine is clear: the war and devastation can continue and risk dragging the U.S. and Iran into the fighting, or there can be a ceasefire that sets the table for a sustainable peace.
H.R. 5961 is a reckless piece of legislation that would force the U.S. to renege on the recent prisoner swap with Iran and bar Iranian funds held abroad from being used to purchase food and medicine. NIAC Action strongly opposes H.R. 5961 and urges Members of Congress to vote against it as it is expected to receive a vote on the House floor next week.
Our staff and grassroots leaders have been meeting with lawmakers, and we want to invite everyone eager to work for peace to join the on-the-ground advocacy underway with NIAC local chapters and with allied pro-peace organizations in your community. Sign up to volunteer with us for ceasefire now!
