To share updates, provide context to this bill and previous congressional advocacy efforts, and see what resources, messaging, or talking points might be useful to anyone.

The soon-to-be introduced bill was the focus of a piece in The Hill here https://thehill.com/policy/international/548168-progressive-lawmaker-to-introduce-bill-seeking-more-oversight-of-israel and was also included in a longer article in The Intercept by Alex Kane here https://theintercept.com/2021/04/14/israel-palestine-us-aid-betty-mccollum/ and Rep. McCollum's tweet https://twitter.com/BettyMcCollum04/status/1382378969295642629?s=20

Additionally, Rep. McCollum had a message back to AIPAC: https://twitter.com/BettyMcCollum04/status/1382477711071928321?s=20
