Today is Tax Day, a reminder that Israel is banking on BILLIONS of our tax dollars to fund the mass murder of Palestinian families in Gaza and to launch a wider war on Iran and Lebanon. Just this week, an Israeli bombing killed a Palestinian schoolgirl in the Gaza Strip in front of her classmates.
Our tax dollars are funding all of it—instead of funding the resources our communities in the U.S. really need, like food and healthcare.
The US government sent $12 billion to Israel's military in 2025 alone. That money could have housed over 600,000 American families, provided healthcare for over 3 million children, or powered 22 million homes with solar energy.

🚨No War on Iran. No Weapons for Israel. No ICE in Our Communities.
With our tax dollars, the Israeli military is dropping U.S.-made bombs to massacre families in Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine. The Pentagon wants another $200 billion to fund horrific U.S. attacks on Iran. All while ICE rakes in billions to terrorize immigrant communities here at home.
We can’t look away while our tax dollars fuel these atrocities. Americans are facing skyrocketing rent, gas, grocery, and healthcare costs. We deserve a future where our tax dollars fund care, not killing, where communities are resourced, not targeted, where no one is forced to pay for endless war.
Email your members of Congress and demand they:
• Support the Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565)
• Support the Melt ICE Act (H.R. 7190)
• Cut off funding for the war on Iran and Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people
Refuse to be ignored! After you send your email, you’ll get a printable letter—mail it in to make sure your voice is heard. When our letters arrive in offices across the country, they become impossible to ignore.
We won’t look away. We will turn up the HEAT!🔥

Our tax dollars at work—funding state violence at home and forever wars abroad. Congress gave ICE $75 billion over four years last July, tripling the agency's budget. Now it has the largest budget of any law enforcement agency in the country.
The same logic that funnels billions of our tax dollars to arm Israel's genocide against Palestinians also funnels billions to militarized immigration enforcement that kills people in our own communities.
Our struggles are connected. The Trump administration is using our tax dollars to commit violence against Palestinians abroad and against immigrant communities here at home. Both are part of the same militarized system that prioritizes violence over care.
Abolish ICE. Block the bombs. No more funding genocide, war, and state violence.

The Nakba is ongoing. This Nakba Day, read our Political Director Iman Abid’s account of growing up in the Palestinian diaspora.
Full story at uscpraction.org (link in bio) #Nakba78
78 years ago, over 750,000 native Palestinians were forced out of their homes and land by Israeli militias.
78 years of Israel’s violent colonialism and land theft.
78 years of U.S. complicity and funding.
78 years of ongoing occupation, displacement, and genocide that have impacted generations of Palestinians.
78 years of the steadfast Palestinian struggle for liberation.
USCPR Action is stepping into the political arena to ensure that Palestinian voices are no longer sidelined. We're releasing our first slate of endorsements for 11 progressive candidates committed to stopping U.S. weapons to Israel.
These candidates are unbought and uncompromised. Every one of them has refused AIPAC money and is aligned with our vision for a liberated future, where our tax dollars fund care for our communities, not killing.
We know what we're up against. That's exactly why we're here.
We’re an unapologetically Palestinian-led and grassroots-driven organization. Our strength lies in people power taking action for Palestinian liberation. The more of our champions we get into office who stand firmly with this movement, the greater our ability to pass legislation to fund care, not killing.

📢 PALESTINE ON THE HILL LIVE - Congresswoman @reprashida joins us live as she prepares to introduce a resolution recognizing the 78th anniversary of the ongoing Nakba. #Nakba78 #StopArmingIsrael
Join us tomorrow morning, Thursday, May 14, at 11 AM ET/ 8 AM PT for Palestine on the Hill. Tune in to the Instagram Live briefing with Palestinian-American Congresswoman @RepRashida and USCPR Action’s Political Director @ImanAbid_ , as we recognize the 78th anniversary of the ongoing Nakba.
Join Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Yousef Munayyer of Arab Center Washington DC to discuss the 78th anniversary of the ongoing Nakba.
Since the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their villages began in 1948, which continues to this day, Israel has refused to abide by international law and allow refugees to return home. Decades of Israeli occupation, land theft, and destruction of Palestinian communities have followed.
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza and their crimes in the West Bank continue, it is more important than ever to learn about the ongoing Nakba and US complicity in it.

The Israeli regime systematically targets and kills Palestinian journalists. It’s part of Israel’s policy to silence anyone who resists or exposes Israeli violence; over 260 Palestinian journalists have been killed by the Israeli military since the start of this genocide. All while the U.S. has actively funded their murders with billions of dollars in weapons to Israel every year.

Over and over again, the Israeli military has used deadly bombs and weapons—made here in the U.S.A.—to commit horrific acts of genocide, massacres, and other war crimes.
We remember every Palestinian, Lebanese, and Iranian person murdered in these atrocities. Their lives were precious. And in their memories, we call upon Congress to block the U.S.-made weapons Israel is using to kill and destroy en masse.
The Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565), led by @RepDeliaRamirez in the House, would block all seven types of these deadly weapons if passed. Senators need to step up NOW and introduce a companion bill in the Senate. #StopArmingIsrael
