AFT: Call for arms embargo

Dear Ed Scholars,

For those of you who are AFT members, please consider signing and sharing this petition to the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to call for the U.S. government to end all military aid to Israel.

The resolution passed by delegates at AFT’s July 2024 convention stipulates that “American military aid cannot be used in ways that facilitate the seizure of Palestinian land, the violent dispossession of Palestinian communities, and the annexation of occupied Palestinian territory. Nor can U.S. military aid be used to harm civilian populations.” It is thus now the responsibility of the AFT Executive Council to have the organization’s policy align with the 2024 convention resolution.

If you are an AFT member, please consider signing. And please forward widely.

In solidarity,

EdScholars4Palestine
