URGENT: Act Now To
Defend UNRWA In Gaza
Washington, DC | February 4th, 2009 | www.adc.org
| The
American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) urges you to act
quickly to oppose House Congressional Resolution 29 (H. Con. Res 29)
which questions support for the United Nations Relief Works Agency
(UNRWA) and alleges its support for terror organizations. H. Con. Res.
29 has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. While
the people of the Gaza Strip are suffering after years of occupation,
blockade and weeks of war UNRWA deserves only steadfast American
support and aid to alleviate the suffering in Gaza. The attempts to
make UNRWA's job harder and limit funding for the organization sends
the message that the United States is actively seeking the continued
deprivation of the Palestinian
people.
Take action below by sending a prepared message to your
representative. Eight Representatives have co-sponsored this resolution
and if your Representative is one of them then you will be able to send
them a message expressing your disagreement with the resolution. If
they have not co-sponsored the resolution you will be able to send them
a letter encouraging them not to support the resolution.
With everyone's quick cooperation
we can act on H. Con. Res. 29. Let's Act NOW!
