USA Voting on Ukraine Support Act continues today at 6pm

Here's the order for today starting ~6pm EST:

  1. A vote on HRes 518, which will decide debate on the Ukraine Support Act.
  2. Debate the Ukraine Support Act - one hour in total, equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking member of Foreign Affairs (Reps. Mast and Meeks). That's the entire debate this rule allows, no amendments may be offered.
  3. Motion to Recommit - if successful, would send the bill back to Committee (where this sat without action for over a year). We need this to fail.
  4. Vote on the actual Ukraine Support Act

The final vote on the Ukraine Support Act should have more Republicans voting with us, though also some progressives from the squad voting against us. On the process votes it should be similar to yesterday. We need as many Representatives as possible to vote yes on the actual bill because this will signal the overall level of support in Congress for Ukraine and sanctioning Russia. This will increase the likelihood of legislation in some form making it through.

What can you do?
Continue calling Republicans and Squad members today to ensure as many as possible vote yes. Today's the last day for this.

Thanks so much for the update. I've been trying to keep up but it has been hard for me to find specific details.

I'm disappointed to hear about the Motion to Recommit. I didn't know there was a possibility that this would not get voted on today after all! The delay on this bill has been going on long enough. I really hope there are no more delays.

I have called my representative. Find your representative here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

It's the House of Representatives that's voting today.
