The Palestinian people remain steadfast in their resistance, refusing to be uprooted from their homeland. For decades, the U.S. has funded this violence, and now in solidarity with a continuing, historic Palestinian uprising of unity against Israel\u2019s colonialism, we in the U.S. have a role to rise with them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Action<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sign the petition:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc5ZDm2fUn9mJK4qzJq-H_yFtXRqO44XwvlbMS1wV_9GFaSuA\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Support Palestinian Children and Families<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tweet at Congress: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NoFundsForEthnicCleansing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stop Funding Ethnic Cleansing- Support H.R. 2590 &amp; end military funding to Israel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call Congress: <\/strong>urge your members of Congress (especially Sen.
