LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – People in our community gathered in front of Rep. Ron Kind’s office Friday evening to show solidarity with Palestinians.
They called on Rep. Kind (D-3rd Congressional District) to urge the State Department to pressure Israel to end the violence in Gaza and the displacement of Palestinian families.
In addition, they want him to co-sponsor a bill introduced by Minnesota Congresswoman Betty McCollum.
It would hold the U.S. accountable for how taxpayer-funded aid is used by Israel.
