Madison-Rafah Sister City Project MRSCP is a local group seeking to educate people in Madison about the realities of life in Gaza and the West Bank. MadisonRafah.org is the project’s web site.

The Madison-Rafah Sister City Project was started in 2003 by a group of concerned citizens in Madison, Wisconsin in order to build wider public awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and to forge person-to-person relationships that would benefit citizens of both cities. The Madison-Rafah Sister City Project is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and donations are tax deductible. We staff information and crafts tables at all of our events and the events of other groups; we annually participate in Madison’s Fair Trade Holiday Festival and Overture International Festival where we sell a large variety of fair trade Palestinian crafts and Holy Land olive oil products. We sponsor and co-sponsor speakers and films throughout the year, including the annual Rachel Corrie Commemorative Dinner and the “speakers to schools” program which provides speakers free of charge to area high schools. The Madison-Rafah Sister City Project offers a Palestine Film Lending Library with a large number of films available for local educational or individual showings. We belong to the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, the Madison Area Peace Coalition, and the Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice.

Congress is about to pass a dangerous provision called Section 219.

Section 219 (Section 1217 in the Senate) would merge key facets of U.S. and Israeli weapons programs, making it nearly impossible for anti-genocide politicians to undo. It would deepen our cooperation on “intelligence” and create a role housed in the Pentagon to evade direct Congressional scrutiny.

And it would make the U.S. even more responsible for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Palestine.

It has already passed the House. Now it’s on the brink of passing the Senate.

Netanyahu and his AIPAC-funded lackeys in Congress have pushed for this for years because it bypasses the democratic process.

Just six Senators are fighting back: Chris Van Hollen, Bernie Sanders, Jeff Merkley, Peter Welch, Ed Markey, and Elizabeth Warren.

It’s not enough.

Track AIPAC is leading a coalition of people across the country that have sent 83,761 letters demanding their senators block this bill.

Tell your senators to vote NO on Section 219. Link in the first comment.
