Congressman Ritchie Torres Urges You to Call or Write Your Congresspeople

what what should we be doing in our communities look members of Congress are human you know we have morale and we need motivation you know we're flooded with hateful calls because of our support to Israel and so I feel like those of us on the in the pro-israel community have to be as visibly and vocally pro-israel as the other side is anti-israel we have to match the intensity of the other side because in politics intensity is often Destiny uh and so I would encourage people to engage with their members of Congress Lobby their members of Congress attempt to persuade them if they're wavering or if they're on the wrong side of the issue and then and then provide moral support to to your allies um you know we're not for the the moral support that I've gotten from the Jewish Community um this moment would be an emotional struggle for me because I paid a heavy political and personal price
