Jewish-Palestinian Alliance of Oregon
The Jewish - Palestinian Alliance of Oregon has come together for joint political action on behalf of Palestinian justice. We work towards an immediate end to the ongoing violence and for a just and peaceful resolution that will end the oppression of the Palestinian people.
Urgent Action:
Dec 4th 2025: Call on Congress to Recognize Israel's Genocide in Gaza
and Prevent and Punish the Crime of Genocide!
SEND a letter to your Member of Congress here!
Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan has just introduced H.Res.876 "Recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza." Please contact and urge your representative to cosponsor and actively support this important legislation. Oregon's representative Maxine Dexter is an original cosponsor! (If you're in her district, please thank her!)
Rep. Tlaib's resolution would officially recognize that the Israeli government has committed the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and calls for the United States to take immediate, concrete action to fulfill its binding legal obligations as a party to the Genocide Convention to prevent and punish the crime of genocide.
Read Rep. Tlaib's full press release HERE
This legislation requires that the United States use all means reasonably available to it to prevent and punish the crime of genocide. This would include halting arms shipments, investigating and prosecuting individuals and corporations implicated in the Gaza genocide, and targeted sanctions directed at the State of Israel and individuals or corporations involved in or facilitating the genocide.
PLEASE use this action alert to contact your representative today! Please SHARE this alert widely, especially to friends and family who live in other congressional districts.
Thank you for being part of the growing community working to end the genocide in Gaza and to bring justice to the Palestinian people!
