[Peace] JFP alert: Platform Committee: Oppose TPP & West Bank Settlements

[Robert Naiman]

Our first post-drafting committee, pre-Orlando alert.

In addition to signing the petition, please help us get to the DNC Platform
Committee members from Illinois and lobby them on these two points.

Here's what we know about Illinois so far:

Clem Balanoff IL
Pamella Gronemeyer IL
Troy LaRaviere IL

If you have any links to getting to these folks, please let me know.

Dear Robert,

Urge the Democratic Platform Committee to oppose the TPP & settlements in
the West Bank.
Take Action
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=t%2BKJGS%2FjBgjjPsLXLoLwynnYd1ujR0I4>

The Democratic Platform drafting committee rejected amendments to oppose
the TPP agreement
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=bDg4R4icOLhxY7iDOujTR65nvYTw2yzO>
[1] and to oppose Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=lhk9oqaaB96FF5EIMKZwta5nvYTw2yzO>.
[2] The TPP is opposed by Secretary Clinton, Senator Sanders, the
overwhelming majority of House Democrats, the labor movement, the climate
justice movement, and groups concerned about access to essential medicines.
The Sanders campaign and J Street
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8qKP0NNLwKgIzVBz4YkKGHnYd1ujR0I4>
[3] had asked the drafting committee to oppose settlement construction and
expansion in the West Bank, which are a key obstacle to a diplomatic
resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict. But in Orlando on July 8-9, the
full platform committee will consider these issues again
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rMQAZsA0rLhmMs2vh%2FaDda5nvYTw2yzO>.
