DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/solidarity-call-on-
 our-senators-no-more-arms/\n\n**This is a solidarity event from our allies
  resisting the Palestinian genocide**\n\nIsrael’s genocide in Gaza\, car
 ried out with US planes\, bombs\, tanks\, and shells\, is continuing to es
 calate\, with now the entirety of north Gaza\, including the former locati
 on of Gaza City\, turned into a free fire zone where anyone that moves is 
 bombed and shot and where no foot or resources are allowed in.\n\nU.S. arm
 s deliveries violate both the Arms Export Control Act and the Lahey Law\, 
 but Secretary of State Blinken’s lies to Congress have allowed the U.S. 
 to continue to supply the genocide.\n\nSenator Bernie Sanders has introduc
 ed six Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD’s) in the Senate (S.J.Res.1
 11 to S.J.Res.116) to block delivery of U.S. arms that Israel has used to 
 carry out war crimes.   Massachusetts Senators Warren and Markey have not 
 made their positions clear.  We call on our Senators to sign on to these r
 esolutions immediately so that other Senators will know that they\, too\, 
 must step forward or be held accountable by history.  [Read more about the
  JRD’s](https://www.fcnl.org/updates/2024-11/understanding-joint-resolut
 ions-disapproval-arms-sales-israel) and about [the National Days of Action
  Nov. 14-28 to support them](https://www.peaceaction.org/2024/11/01/joint-
 resolution-of-disapproval-days-of-action/).\n\nWe will rally in front of S
 en. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Ed Markey’ offices at the JFK Federal Buil
 ding in downtown Boston\, and at their offices at 1550 Main St.\, Springfi
 eld\, on Wednesday\, Nov. 13\, 12:30 pm\, to deliver letters signed by som
 e 90 Massachusetts organizations and 1\,000 individuals\, calling on them 
 to support the JRD’s.   Join us there!
