Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Condemning the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, and calling for Hamas and its leaders to immediately and unconditionally surrender and to release the hostages, including Americans. is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people following U.S. policy on Hamas, Israel, and the hostages taken after October 7, 2023. It matters most to hostages and their families, including American families, because the resolution calls for their release. It also affects members of Congress and foreign policy officials by stating the House’s position. It does not directly change what private citizens must do.
Why this matters: This matters because the House would make a formal statement about the October 7 attacks and the hostages still held by Hamas. The resolution would not force Hamas to act. Its practical effect would be political and diplomatic: it would show where the House stands and keep pressure on the demand for hostage release.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
