I'm currently working with Jewish Voices For Peace to mobilize against Trump's plans in Gaza. There is a lot of work that needs to be done though to mount an effective protest. What the left needs is numbers and the best time to start was yesterday.

Opponents of Jewish Voice for Peace argue that the organization amplifies a view that is often seen as fringe within the American Jewish community, creating greater tolerance for views and statements considered offensive by Zionists.[65] The ADL, a vocal longtime critic of the organization, has argued that JVP unfairly places the onus of resolving the conflict on Israel.[66] JVP has at times been denied participation or membership in broader Jewish community events or spaces.[67][68] While some Jewish leaders concede that the community is too quick to censor criticism of Israel, even the Jewish state's critics among the community are reluctant to welcome JVP into the fold.[69] JVP has been criticized for partnering with groups including Electronic Intifada, Al-Awda, and the Movement for Black Lives, all of which have characterized Israel's treatment of Palestinians as apartheid and accused the state of genocide.[70][71]

JVP has become the bête noire of the organized Jewish community in the United States, which has largely excluded the organization.[7] Others in the Jewish community have argued that JVP has been unfairly shut out.[72] According to political scientist Dov Waxman, the anger which JVP's actions and positions arouse in many other American Jewish groups is just one index of a broader polarizing controversy within the Jewish American community at large, whose leaders had hitherto managed to shut out internal disagreements from the public purview.[73] Since the 2010s, there has been a shift toward greater tolerance for JVP within the community. Some left-wing Jews have praised the organization for giving an outlet to younger Jews who are more critical toward Israel.[74][75]

In September 2013, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship awarded JVP its Peaceseeker Award "for their courageous work for justice and peace in Palestine and Israel," noting that the fellowship "celebrates their work of nonviolence in the face of violence."[76]

In 2017, JVP was criticized for inviting Rasmea Odeh, a former PFLP member convicted by Israeli military courts for her role in the 1969 Jerusalem supermarket bombing, as a featured speaker in its biennial conference.[77][78][79] Odeh was subsequently deported from the United States after pleading guilty to immigration fraud and losing her American citizenship.[80]

More people sacrifice....

I contacted my reps. Who already agree with me. /Shrug.

It's up to the people with Republican Reps to speak their mind.

I've been calling my rep/senators, and the rep of mn07, where my family has a vacation home.

5calls.org is a good

I'll try to get to a protest soon.
