Protesters Hold Die-in in Office of Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed

HeadlineNov 02, 2023

In Rhode Island, peace activists held a die-in protest inside a local office of Democratic Senator Jack Reed. The protesters were urging Reed to vote against sending an additional $14 billion to Israel.

Protester: “As a senior member of Congress in a key position of power over the U.S.'s military spending, Senator Reed has played an influential role in upholding our government's support for the systematic and decadeslong oppression of Palestinians by the Israeli state. We are here to say, 'No more,' and to condemn in no uncertain terms Senator Reed’s complicity in the provision of billions of dollars of U.S. aid and arms to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.”
