Sample Script for Calls:
“Hello, my name is _____. I am calling you today to demand that Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky calls for the human rights of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation by signing onto H.R. 2590 immediately! In alliance with her fellow progressive Illinois congress members who have already cosponsored this bill, including Chuy Garcia, Bobby Rush, Marie Newman, and Danny Davis, Jan Schakowsky must also take a stand against the crimes of the Israeli military. Human rights for Palestinians should not be a debate! Jan Schakowsky must sign onto H.R. 2590 immediately!”

POST 1: WITH ALL FLIERS
CAPTION HERE:
WEEK OF ACTION: The time to act is NOW! CALL U.S Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL-9) and tag her on social media all week (July 5 – July 9), and also JOIN us in a series of events in Chicago to demand she co-sponsor U.S. Rep Betty McCollum’s (D-MN-4) H.R. 2590: The Palestinian Families and Children Act! Jan Schakowsky claims to have done “work” to condemn Israel for the “things that they have done” to Palestinians, but has yet to take any real action. We demand she co-sponsor H.R. 2590 immediately. This bill states that U.S. tax payers’ funds will not be used to support the military detention of Palestinian children, the destruction and seizure of Palestinian property, and the further annexation of Palestinian land. This bill is the WORK that condemns Israel, Jan, and it’s about time you sign on! USPCN.ORG/JAN – #HR2590
POST 2: WITH THE MEMES
CAPTION HERE:
U.S. Congresswoman (D-IL-9) Jan Schakowsky claims to be progressive, but instead she’s a PEP – ‘Progressive EXCEPT on Palestine.’ Jan, that’s not progressive! Israel is ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their homes, is forcefully displacing Palestinian families from neighborhoods like #Silwan and #SheikhJarrah RIGHT NOW, and has arrested over 1,300 Palestinians since May. We are demanding Schakowsky co-sponsor U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum’s (D-MN-4) H.R. 2590, the Palestinian Children and Families Act, the only current U.S. legislation that does not allow U.S. tax payer money to fund Israel’s imprisonment of Palestinian children and the ongoing illegal annexation of Palestinian land. Join us all week as we demand Schakowsky sign H.R. 2590 and say no more U.S. tax money to fund Israel’s human rights violations! USPCN.ORG/JAN – #HR2590
POST 3: FLYERS & MEMES
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has dodged taking a stand on Palestine, and we say no more! Palestinian families are being ethnically cleansed in #Silwan and #SheikhJarrah, so the time to act is now! Schakowsky claimed she would again read over the H.R. 2590 bill to reach a decision, but what’s so hard about deciding not to fund the imprisonment and torture of Palestinian children with U.S. tax dollars? Jan, progress to being a true progressive and CO-SPONSOR H.R. 2590 now! uspcn.org/jan #HR2590
