We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are joining the call for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in demanding presidential candidate Kamala Harris distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.
Not another bomb!

About the Not Another Bomb Day of Action
The Not Another Bomb Day of Action is a series of peaceful rallies and marches across the country to push the Biden-Harris administration and the Democratic Party to support an arms embargo for Israel’s war and an end to the occupation against Palestinians. Actions will take place from August 16-18, before the start of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
Since October 7th, Israel has launched an all out bombardment of Gaza destroying schools, hospitals, and homes. Over 40,000 people have died, including more than 15,000 children, and over 89,000 people have been injured. This is only possible because of the blank check that the US government has provided to Israel – providing them with bombs, ammunition, and political cover.
In order to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must immediately stop arming Israel. This will reduce Israel’s capacity to continue to enact genocide and pressure the government to change course.
As Israel’s bombing of Gaza continues to escalate and the presidential election marches on, the movement needs to come together as a multi-racial, anti-authoritarian coalition to work together and demand: “not another bomb” and work to reshape the status quo of US foreign policy.
The Democratic National Convention (August 19-22) is the movement’s last major opportunity before the November election to collectively push the Democratic Party away from its immoral and unpopular stance on Palestinian human rights and push forward the demand for a weapons embargo as the path to a ceasefire. We will pressure every corner for the Democratic Party from the Biden/Harris administration to Congress to DNC delegates to take a side.
The media frenzy around the DNC will provide a key intervention point, and we want to capture the spotlight for Palestine. We will take action to make the arms embargo the front-of-mind demand from the movement.
At the same time, we also know that a Trump presidency would roll back the progress we have made and commit further violence against Palestinians, likely escalating the war in the region even further. Our task is to align the Democratic Party with the majority of the Democratic base and ensure that we win in November with the anti-war platform required to save lives and democracy.
This effort is being spearheaded by Not Another Bomb, a campaign of the Uncommitted National Movement. This day of action is in tandem with other strategies our movement is employing to push for an end to this war.
