*Two key members have a leading role in whether these amendments can pass
the House of Representatives: Rep. Jim McGovern, a longtime progressive who
now chairs the powerful Rules Committee, and Rep. Greg Meeks, who chairs
the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee. **We need them to co-sponsor
these amendments and to ensure that they get a vote on the floor of the
House.*

If they don’t hear from people like you, there are some indications that
Meeks and McGovern will quietly try to undermine or block these lifesaving
amendments.
