Baltimore, MD - Aug. 11, 2025 - As part of the ongoing communication with our members of Congress expressing our appreciation or disappointment with their votes or policy positions on Israel, in addition to our email campaign, we request that everyone take a few minutes to call and politely voice our disappointment with the recent Israel-related actions of Senator Angela Alsobrooks.
Her office number is (202) 224-4524. Please convey the following message:
“Hello, my name is ______ and I am a member of Maryland’s Jewish community. I am calling to convey my disappointment with Senator Alsobrooks’ recent anti-Israel vote and statements. During her election campaign and in recent meetings with our community she has insisted that she would be a pro-Israel voice in Washington. Instead of casting her vote against important arms sales to our ally Israel, the Senator should stay true to her words, by helping Israel defeat Hamas, which is the fastest and most effective way to end the humanitarian suffering of Gazans.
Thank you.”
Background
Over the past two years, members of Congress have been under significant pressure from anti-Israel activists, with constant accusations of Israel committing genocide in Gaza, and pushing them to vote against Israel. In a meeting with leaders of our community a couple of months ago, Senator Angela Alsobrooks emphatically assured us that she is would be a pro-Israel voice and vote in Congress. Yet, she has now begun echoing the anti-Israel rhetoric we have come to hear from the “usual suspects”, culminating in her vote in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ failed resolution to suspend weapons sales to Israel.
Senator Alsobrooks has acknowledged that the bombardment of calls into her office by anti-Israel activists has played a key role in her vote. It is imperative that we do what we can to urge her to reconsider her recent positions.
