6. We've gotta kick the Senate in the ass to get there.

The Senate version, the Supporting Ukraine Act of 2025 (S.2592) has been languishing after being referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Call your Senators. Encourage others to do the same!

Call members of the Committee on Foreign Relations (listed below), even if you aren't a constituent. Just make it clear you are calling them in their capacity as a member of the committee.

We need to hammer Chair Risch. Now that the House has acted, it it time for them to vote their version out and put it to a floor vote.

This is about the United States putting itself on the right side of history again. It's a commitment to defend Ukraine in the largest land war in Europe since WWII. If Ukraine falls, NATO nations WILL be the next targets of Russian aggression and horrific violations of human rights.

We'll cross the veto bridge when we get there.

Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Now that he has nothing to lose, let his staffers know it is time to act on conscience.

Ask minority member offices what YOU and other Americans who deeply care about this can do to help. Are there particular members to target? If they provide guidance, spread the word.
