We Refuse to Fund Genocide

To: Rep. Torres, Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Pres. Trump

From: A verified voter in Chino, CA

March 18

For over a year, we have watched the United States bankroll and defend the mass slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. Over 400,000 people are dead, including tens of thousands of children. Israel has bombed civilians during ceasefires, cut off water, electricity, and aid, and turned Gaza into a graveyard—with your full support. You are not public servants. You are mouthpieces for empire, standing on a mountain of corpses while feigning “concern” for human life. Your legacy is clear: cowardice, cruelty, and complicity in war crimes. This week, you approved $4 billion in weapons to Israel, including arms previously withheld for their destructive potential. You knew about the bombing of civilians during Ramadan, and you approved it. The world sees you—not as leaders, but as enablers of genocide. We refuse to participate in this system any longer. We Pledge: To withhold our labor from this genocidal economy. To close financial accounts tied to war profiteering banks and credit institutions. To refuse to pay taxes that fund apartheid, occupation, and ethnic cleansing. To organize, strike, divest, and resist—until the killing stops. We do not ask you for decency. You’ve proven incapable of it. This letter is not a plea—it’s a declaration. If you do not end your support for genocide, we will disrupt your system at its foundation. You will not have our money, our labor, or our silence. We Demand: 1. An immediate and total end to U.S. aid to Israel. 2. An unconditional, permanent ceasefire. 3. Accountability for Israeli war crimes at international tribunals. 4. Unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza and all occupied territories. You have failed humanity. We will not.
