Call Your CA State Legislators to Support Speech and Education on Palestine * *Take action by clicking here .* Pro-Israel advocates in California are pushing four bills through the CA State Legislature that threaten free speech and are trying silence discussion about Palestinian rights. Sacramento Jewish Voice for Peace is opposing these bills: AB 2615, AB 2664, SB 998, and SB 1387. Additional detail can be found here: Bill Summaries: What We're Opposing and Why (July-August 2026) - Jewish Voice for Peace, Sacramento *TAKE ACTION * *1. CALL NOW TO OPPOSE AB 2664!* AB 2664 Script Feel free to speak from the heart instead of reading a script. If you are Jewish, it is especially powerful to say in your own words that this bill does not speak for you. But if you would rather read something, here is a short script: "Hi, my name is [name] and I'm a constituent from [city]. I'm calling to urge [Assemblymember/Senator name] to vote NO on AB 2664. Existing law already prohibits harassment and violence at houses of worship. What AB 2664 actually does is criminalize peaceful protest against synagogues that host events tied to the illegal sale of Palestinian land. The ACLU opposes this bill on First Amendment grounds. [If relevant: And as a Jewish Californian, I do too.] Please vote no." *2. Call to oppose three other bills supported by pro-Israel advocates in CA: * Call your CA state representatives to oppose bills AB 2615, AB 2664, SB 998, and SB 1387 that conflate support for Israel with Judaism, restrict honest speech and education about Palestine, criminalize peaceful protest outside houses of worship, erase the diversity of Jewish identity by reducing it to a single ethnicity checkbox on state forms. *3. This Wednesday, August 5th, 2026,** SB 998, and SB 1387* will be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The public is allowed to comment at the end of the hearing, so it is an opportunity to express opposition. To directly call or email your CA Senator or Assemblymember, click here .

Some are calling it the ?Deadly Merger.? *Call Senator Schiff now *202-224-3841 (you can leave a message anytime) If the NDAA passes with Section 219, it will make it extremely difficult to cut ties with Israel and much harder to track and regulate U.S. complicity in the Israeli military?s crimes. Opposing the NDAA is one of the most critical actions Senators can take right now to defund the war on Iran, cut ties with Israel, and stop the genocide in Palestine. *Take Action Now* *Senator Schiff 202-224-3841 (can leave a message after office hours).

It is time for the U.S. to stop its war against Iran and end military aid and ties to Israel.* *August 24 - 28, 2026 is a national week of action to stop this deadly merger.* * Share this alert with others: https://sac4palestine.org/stop-israeli-u-s-military-merger * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
