![]() Dear Marti, Next Monday, June 25, I’ll be in Washington on Capitol Hill with colleagues and partners to hold a congressional briefing highlighting H.R. 4391 and the situation for Palestinian children after the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem. We need you to help make sure your members of Congress attend. Please take action now to tell your lawmaker to attend this briefing!
Our latest congressional briefing will examine how persistent grave human rights violations, systemic impunity, discrimination, and recent U.S. policy decisions, like relocating the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, impact the lives of Palestinian children growing up under military occupation. Here are the details: Title: H.R. 4391 and the situation for Palestinian children after the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem When: June 25, 2018 at 12:30 pm (light lunch served) Where: Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2044, 45 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20515 Last fall, lawmakers introduced the first-ever bill on Palestinian human rights in Congress, something the #nowaytotreatachild team spearheaded in 2017. It now has 27 co-sponsors and we are working to add more every day. The bill, H.R. 4391, is titled the Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act and was introduced by Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) with nine co-sponsors. It prohibits U.S. tax dollars from supporting human rights violations against Palestinian children during the course of Israeli military detention. Send a message to your lawmaker now to tell them to attend the June 25 briefing! Thank you for all that you do and for helping ensure that your elected officials know about this briefing. Best regards, Brad Parker Co-leader of #nowaytotreatachild campaign Attorney and International Advocacy Officer Defense for Children International – Palestine |
