Campaign: reinstate settler-violence sanctions

The 2024 sanctions framework (Executive Order 14115) proved targeted designations work — designated individuals' accounts froze within days. It was revoked in January 2025. With the Tal attack and the reprisal wave in the news, this week is the moment to put reinstatement in front of your members of Congress.

The asks

  • Publicly support reinstating and expanding targeted sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for West Bank settler violence, including those previously designated under EO 14115.
  • Press for enforcement of the Leahy Law regarding any units credibly implicated in gross violations.
  • Ask for a written statement of the member's position — offices track which asks demand a reply.

The letter

Dear [REPRESENTATIVE/SENATOR NAME], My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am your constituent in [CITY, ZIP]. [ADD ONE PERSONAL SENTENCE — WHY THIS ISSUE MATTERS TO YOU. DO NOT SKIP THIS.] I am writing about the surge of settler violence in the occupied West Bank — including the July 24 attack on Tal village near Nablus and the burning of two mosques in Qusra days later, documented by Human Rights Watch and Reuters. UN OCHA has recorded more than 3,000 settler attacks since January 2025, and displacement this year is running at double the previous rate. The February 2024 sanctions framework under Executive Order 14115 demonstrated that targeted designations work: designated individuals and entities lost access to accounts within days. That framework was revoked in January 2025 while the violence has escalated. I ask you to publicly support reinstating and expanding targeted sanctions on the individuals and entities responsible for settler violence — including those previously designated under EO 14115 — and to press for enforcement of the Leahy Law wherever units are credibly implicated in gross violations of human rights. Please reply with your position on this issue. Respectfully, [YOUR NAME] [CITY, ZIP]

Settler violence and the West Bank crackdown are live in Washington this week. Calls are logged and tallied by every office; ten constituent calls on one issue gets it into the member's briefing.

The asks

  • Reinstate and expand sanctions on violent settlers and their funding networks (the 2024 executive-order framework showed this works — accounts froze within days).
  • Enforce existing US law: the Leahy Law bars assistance to units credibly implicated in gross violations — ask for its application, by name.
  • Support full funding of UN humanitarian operations in Gaza — the pipeline is narrowing while needs remain (cite the OCHA numbers on the Gaza card).

Steady work

Act where you're outnumbered least: locally

City council resolutions, campus and union chapters, town halls when Congress is home in August. Local wins compound and get covered.

The asks

  • Show up to your member's August-recess town hall with one question, stated calmly, filmed.
  • Join an existing chapter rather than founding a duplicate — USCPR, AMP, JVP, and student groups have local infrastructure.

Standing orders

The discipline pledge (read once a week)

Sanad's rules of engagement. They exist because your credibility is the movement's ammunition.

The asks

  • Verify before sharing — the verification kit is in the Library.
  • Your own words, always. Never paste a card verbatim; platforms flag copypasta as coordinated inauthentic behavior and it discredits real grassroots sentiment.
  • No celebration of any civilian death. Ever. Screenshots outlive context.
  • No antisemitism, and call it out when you see it on our side — it is wrong, and it is the single fastest way to destroy this cause.
  • Correct your own errors publicly, same place, same size.
  • Engage the strongest version of the other argument. Dunking on the weakest version convinces no one watching.
