Last night @JVPSeattle blocked traffic on University Bridge during rush hour, demanding @PattyMurray call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Murray still will only express support for "Humanitarian pauses" even as death toll passes 18000

BREAKING: Jewish organizers @JVPSeattle and their allies are blocking both lanes of traffic on University Bridge, demanding immediate ceasefire and an end to Israel's genocide against Palestinians.

.@PattyMurray #CeasefireNOW @JVPSeattle & Seattle DSA members are occupying the University Bridge! If you’re in Seattle come on down!

HAPPENING NOW: Over 150 with @jvpseattle are shutting down University Bridge over Lake Washington to call for a permanent ceasefire and end to the Israeli government’s 75 years of oppression and dispossession of Palestinians.

NOW: Jewish Voice For Peace and allies are blocking the doors this morning at the Federal Building, demanding that Sen Patty Murray stop funding the genocide of Palestinians:

If a majority of Democratic voters think we should NOT send weapons to Israel, then why do a majority of Democratic members of Congress want to?

THANK YOU to these Reps for taking an anti-war stance. #CeasefireNOW @RepCori @RepRashida @RepAndreCarson @RepSummerLee @repdeliaramirez @RepBowman @RepAOC @RepPressley @Ilhan @RepChuyGarcia @rep_jackson @NydiaVelazquez @RepBonnie @RepJayapal @RepBarbaraLee @RepCasar @RepAdams

I asked Sen Patty Murray's office if she would support a cease fire resolution. Her office noted that the resolution on the table is in the House (she can definitely introduce her own), but here's what she said:

Members of Seattle Jewish Voice for Peace and their allies held a sit-in outside Sen. Murray's office yesterday, demanding that the Washington congressional delegation call for a ceasefire in Gaza. https://t.co/XE9YP80F06

Senator Patty Murray won't call for a ceasefire, but she does think the US should help the victims of the war they paid for! Rep. Jayapal called for a ceasefire, but she'll settle for a timeout. Crickets from the rest! https://t.co/7V1g3VX8pO

Thank you Congresswoman Jayapal!❤️

It is the moral responsibility of the United States to help achieve an immediate ceasefire to save civilian lives. Proud to join @RepCori and @RepRashida in this push to stop the escalation of this conflict and allow for humanitarian aid to be delivered.

Genocide Joe

Happening now in DC: the largest Jewish protest in solidarity with Palestinians in U.S. history.

Jewish-Americans occupy Congress to demand an immediate ceasefire and a free Palestine. Because Jews have always been part of an anti Zionist movement and US support for Israel is not about protecting Jews. #Gaza #Genocide #Ceasefire #FreePalestine

RABBIS GETTING ARRESTED AS THEY BLOW THE SHOFAR. cc @jvplive @jvpliveNY @JvpAction

Solidarity with those mobilizing and demanding a #CeasefireNOW to save lives.

That is a legit video. “Not in our name!”

.@tavitulle is joining American Jews and allies in DC to demand ceasefire and a stop to the genocide. @jvplive

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of American Jews are holding a sit-in at Congress — and we won’t leave until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. As thousands of U.S. Jews protest outside, over 350 are inside, including two dozen rabbis, holding prayerful resistance.
