Sign the petition: Don't let the Senate send ICC sanctions to Trump's desk!

TELL THE U.S. SENATE: The International Criminal Court is being targeted for attempting to hold Israeli leaders accountable for war crimes against Palestinians. The U.S. should not issue sanctions to the Court for pursuing justice. Sign the petition: Block U.S. sanctions against the ICC!

Harris,

The U.S. Senate will vote TOMORROW on sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in retaliation for the Court pursuing justice against Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel's war crimes in Gaza.1

It's clear that these sanctions are meant to shield Israel from all accountability related to its siege on Gaza and the murder of more than 46,000 Palestinians. The House has already passed the sanctions bill. Now, our Senators must stand against such unjust, undemocratic sanctions.

Sign the petition: Urge your Senators to vote NO on ICC sanctions. Don't let Congress send ICC sanctions to Trump's desk!

In November, the ICC issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.2

Our government should not shield potential war criminals from justice and should not punish a body trying to pursue accountability in every corner of the globe.

Sign the petition: Block ICC sanctions!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
