I am a concerned citizen of Minnesota's Second Congressional District. My concern lies in the knowledge that my tax dollars are being used to support the death of innocent civilians in Gaza. This misuse of resources is a consequence of pro-war legislation that gives approval for American bombs and weapons to be dispatched and used by Israel. 

According to the Council on Foreign Relations, the United States has been consistently providing Israel with considerable military aid, estimated annually at $3.8 billion since 2016. Tragically, 40,000 innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza have died since October 2023. Amnesty International has reported countless instances of civilians, including 10,000 children, being killed by airstrikes in residential areas. Also, UN reports highlight extensive destruction in Gaza, manifesting as leveled buildings and ruined infrastructure. 

Congresswoman Angie Craig has the power to alter this dire scenario by voting against such legislation. We, as her constituents, have the right to express our disapproval of any role our district plays in driving this violent cycle of devastation by supporting military aggression.

For the sake of innocent lives, for the humane use of our resources, for preventing further needless devastation, we implore Congresswoman Angie Craig to use her power wisely and vote against pro-war legislation. Stand with us today to transform the course of our district from one that passively supports ruthless conflicts to one that advocates for peace and justice. Please sign this petition.

Angie's opponent in the August 13 primary is Marc Ives, a K-8 teacher who strongly opposes sending weapons to the IDF and supports peace in Palestine and Israel. Learn more about his campaign at www.IvesforCongress.com
