Join #nowaytotreatachild campaign co-leaders, Brad Parker and Jennifer Bing, for a webinar on May 7 at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT for detailing the recently introduced bill in Congress, H.R. 2407, by Rep. Betty McCollum.<
U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D-MN) introduced the Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act, also known as H.R. 2407, on April 30. The bill prohibits U.S. taxpayer funding for the military detention of children in any country, including Israel.
While generally applicable, H.R. 2407 seeks to promote justice, equality and human rights by ensuring that U.S. financial assistance provided to the Government of Israel is not used to support widespread and institutionalized ill-treatment against Palestinian children detained by Israeli forces and prosecuted in Israeli military courts lacking basic fair trial protections.
Join us for more information on the bill and updates on how you can get involved in congressional advocacy in support of Palestinian human rights.
