On Nov 14th, Congress will have the chance to hear from the mayors of Bethlehem and the village of Wadi Foquin, both in the West Bank, about the devastating impact on their communities of the Israeli settlements that surround them.
Our members of Congress also have before them the chance to oppose deeply disturbing legislation, named the Israel Anti-Boycott Act (S.720 in the Senate and H.R. 1697 in the House) which would severely penalize those who support certain boycott campaigns that address Israel's violations of Palestinian human rights.
UMKR seeks – through nonviolent action and in partnership with our Palestinian sisters and brothers in Christ – freedom, justice and equality for all Palestinians and Israelis.

This law and similar anti-BDS legislation that now exists in 24 states are serious threats to Americans' right to free speech. The Supreme Court has made clear that participation in such a boycott is a constitutionally protected form of expression.
In two recent coordinated actions, faith organizations across the US have come together to alert the American public about the danger of these laws and to send an open letter to Congress opposing such legislation.
Please send a message today to your members of Congress, bringing those public statements to their attention. Urge them to ATTEND the briefing with the West Bank mayors and to OPPOSE anti-BDS legislation. See more details about those here.

You will review the full prepared message before sending it to your two Senators and your Representative.
