Call Your House of Representatives Today

On Monday, the Senate passed a supplemental aid package that includes President Biden’s emergency funding request for Israel. Urge your House Member to support it, too. This bipartisan package includes $14.1 billion in emergency aid to Israel, including vital funding for defense systems like the Iron Dome and Arrow Missile Defense systems. It also provides $400 million in supplemental funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) and desperately needed aid to Ukraine. The national Federation system is mobilizing the full might of our communities to let our elected officials know that this aid package must pass as soon as possible. It will send a strong message to America’s adversaries that we stand with our allies. Please take two minutes right now to reach out to your member in the House of Representatives and urge them to support this bill.
