What is the Deadly Merger?

The U.S. and Israel want to merge their military systems in order to produce deadly weapons and surveillance technology together. This Deadly Merger is buried inside the annual military spending bill, or National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which Congress will be voting on again soon.

We have a small window of time to block the NDAA, which is why we’re phonebanking nearly every week to make sure Congress knows where their constituents stand.

Ok, but what is a “phonebank”?

At phonebanks, we call constituents (read: people) of key moveable, influential members of Congress, and patch them directly through to their elected official’s office. These are some of the most pleasant calls you can make, chatting directly with supporters of DSA, USCPR Action, and Adalah Justice Project.

These phonebanks have already driven thousands of calls to Congress, directly contributing to historic votes on the NDAA and arming Israel last month. We have the winds at our back, but so much more to do.
