Netanyahu and his government are perpetrating a brutal war with enormous civilian loss of life, through direct bombing and gunfire, as well as from restriction of food, water, and medicine. Undermining the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court on Netanyahu's behalf would be a grave strategic mistake - a mistake that Indivisible urges President Biden and congressional leaders to avoid.
Make no mistake, Donald Trump is responsible for the end of Roe v. Wade and he will ban abortion nationwide and take away our access to birth control if it benefits him politically with the most extreme, anti-women wing of the Republican party.
Alito is not an impartial arbiter of the law, especially when Donald Trump is involved. His brazen actions underscore the urgent need for increased Congressional oversight of the Court as well as structural reforms to restore its legitimacy.
The announcement that the administration would move forward with a $1 billion arms sale to the Israeli military undermines what should be a clear message. The horror faced by Palestinians in Gaza demands more urgency. The US must halt offensive arms transfers and exert significant diplomatic pressure to secure a ceasefire, now.
Netanyahu’s ‘Rafah invasion no matter what’ posture cannot stand. U.S. weapons and security aid cannot support Netanyahu’s invasion of Rafah, which would amount to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. We call on U.S. lawmakers to withhold arms transfers, to enforce U.S. and international laws, to follow through on the commitments of Biden’s National Security Memorandum, and to use every ounce of diplomatic leverage to prevent this accelerating nightmare.
Today, Indivisible Co-Executive Director Leah Greenberg issued the following statement after arrests and violence against students who are exercising their First Amendment right to protest against college and university support for the Israeli government’s assault on Gaza.
We thank those principled No votes for opposing the failed strategy of providing unconditional military aid to Netanyahu’s war in Gaza. It’s past time for a different approach. Indivisible continues to call for the US government to use significant leverage, including enforcing existing US laws that condition foreign assistance, to get a ceasefire in place.
"Arizona Republicans blocking a repeal of an 1864 abortion ban today is the least shocking thing to happen in politics today. The bans are the point. Donald Trump, Kari Lake, and the rest of the Republican party are leading a nationwide crusade to undermine reproductive rights and personal freedoms. And this is exactly what they envisioned when they celebrated the end of Roe. Make no mistake: Republicans like Donald Trump and Kari Lake did this."
