Sign on Petition Opposing New US Sanctions on Nicaragua for Defending Palestine in the International Court of Justice
Tell the US Senate: Vote NO on Bill S.1881!
*Signers do not have to be from the United States – please share internationally.
One week after Nicaragua argued at the International Court of Justice to defend the Palestinian people from the genocide in Gaza, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations approved a bill to impose more sanctions on Nicaragua. The US government wants to punish Nicaragua for standing with the people of Palestine, and for charging countries that provide weaponry to the Israeli war machine with complicity in genocide.
We urge you to add your name to oppose this new attack on the world movement to defend Palestine.
Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition endorses this action alert circulated by the Americas Without Sanctions Campaign.
Don’t let the US Congress punish Nicaragua for defending Palestine!

Action to Support Nicaragua’s Sovereignty, Honoring Its Achievements
On November 10, 2022, an online White House statement announced that President Biden had invoked emergency powers on October 24, declaring Nicaragua a continuing “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.” This renews for yet another year the Executive Order unjustly issued by Donald Trump in November 2018.
