Take Action: Senate Vote to Block $8.8 Billion in Weapons to Israel

actionnetwork.orgTake Action: Senate to Vote on Blocking $8.8 Billion in Weapons to IsraelThis week, Sen. Bernie Sanders is forcing a vote in the Senate to block $8.8 billion in weapons to Israel, including more than 35,000 one-ton bombs. With Israel having unleashed massive violence on Palestinians in Gaza on March 17, breaking the ceasefire and killing nearly 800 people since then, it's more important than ever that Congress act to stop these weapons from going to Israel and making us complicit in its genocidal violence against Palestinians. Write your Senators and ask them to vote for these resolutions to block weapons to Israel!

Come out Saturday, 16 November 2024 at 1:00pm to hear from Dr. Yipeng Ge at the Rally Against F-35!

Raised in the Waterloo region, Dr. Ge is a physician based in Ottawa. He spent time in Gaza earlier this year working in primary care clinics in Rafah, and has seen firsthand the impact of F-35s:

“These fighter jets have contributed to the killing and maiming of innocent children and civilians, some of whom were the patients I looked after when I was in Gaza.”

Weapons components used to build F-35s, which are then used by Israel to bomb Gaza and Lebanon, are being built right here in our community. On Saturday we’ll let our MPs know we won’t tolerate Canada’s complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide.

Join us to hear from Dr. Ge as we stand together on this national day of action. Together we can make our voices heard.

I just signed the #ActionNetwork petition: Demand the #FDA and #CDC immediately approve the #Novavax and #Moderna updated #vaccines for an earlier release.

actionnetwork.orgDemand the FDA and CDC immediately approve Moderna and Novavax's updated vaccines for an earlier release. Demand the FDA and CDC approve updated COVID vaccines for an early release and clearer guidance on vaccine access. We are in unprecedented territory... Normally, COVID vaccine updates would rollout in the fall, but as we are learning more about COVID, and how we can't treat it like the flu, vaccine manufacturers are rising to the occasion. Between advanced mutations that require shifts in memory response, an earlier cold and flu season, the Bridge Access Program ending in August, and schools being discovered as major vectors for infection... We can't wait for the fall to rollout updated vaccines. Both Moderna and Novavax have submitted to the FDA for immediate approval of their JN.1 updates that they have said can be delivered between mid-July and early August. Moderna "Manufacturing is underway and doses of Moderna's Spikevax 2024-2025 formula will be ready to ship as early as August, pending regulatory approval." Novavax "Novavax intends to have doses in the U.S. for distribution by mid-July. Upon FDA authorization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation, Novavax is preparing to promptly deliver to U.S. customers." Both updated vaccines need to be approved for release as fast as possible. The public needs access to updated vaccines before the school year starts. Earlier rollout means protecting kids and their families. Earlier rollout means that vaccination with updated vaccines will be possible before school starts, which will reduce transmission for the entire population. Schools will remain a high-risk environment for transmission until proper clean air procedures are implemented, so we should shift our policy to release updated vaccines prior to the school year starting. This will help put parents at ease when they send their kids off to school. Cold and Flu season is starting earlier. The “cold and flu season”, which now includes COVID, starts earlier than it did previously. With the jump from XBB to JN.1 being so significant, immune imprinting is an issue for anyone who is avoiding infection and trying to stay prepared for an unexpected exposure. This means they need a two shot series two months apart regardless of mRNA or protein based vaccine platform. An earlier rollout would allow people to reset their memory response in time for a winter surge or we run the risk of having an even worse surge than our previous winters. Our outdated memory response is a concern that must be addressed. There is a way to aim for variants we can’t see yet. Should people choose Novavax to update their memory response, then it will also help them improve their reaction to new variants. An effect of Novavax’s adjuvant is that after multiple doses, it boosts existing antibodies to challenge new mutations. We can’t accurately predict which variants are coming next, so the Matrix-M adjuvant allows the JN.1 vaccine to respond better to future variants. This allows the JN.1 vaccine to create a response that will reach future variants we can’t see yet. An earlier release would allow access through the Bridge Access Program. The bridge program is ending in August and rolling out the updated vaccines in July-August would help make these vaccines more available to underserved communities who benefit the most from greater vaccine access The private market has made COVID vaccines unreachable for the uninsured and we need to do everything we can to maintain equitable access to these updated vaccines and future ones. We can't let access to insurance inhibit access to these lifesaving vaccines. The public needs both an mRNA and protein-based vaccine option. The FDA has approved Novavax notoriously late over the last few seasons, but some people can not get mRNA so this has become an equity issue. These people are often immuncompromised and at the highest risk, their protection cannot be delayed. Both of these vaccines should be approved on the same timeline so that both mRNA and protein-based vaccines can be available at the same time. Also, the CDC & FDA should make it easier for people to access two shots in a two month period. Sign this petition to send a message to the FDA and CDC that the public wants the vaccine rollout to happen earlier and that you want want greater access to these vaccines.

The state can serve us and our interests, but first it has to represent us. Our ability to win equality in this country rests on breaking open our centralised, and narrow politics.

@freemo @marathon It's convenient & time-saving to know this. Anytime a #petition is on #ActionNetwork.org, #ChangeDotOrg, or #MoveOn.org, it's easy to ignore it before even reading what it's about. Whatever it is, it's not worth your drop-in-the-ocean sig to risk your privacy & help someone undermine what should be a democratic process. If a petition is on #openpetition.org then it's worth a look.
