Digital resource that assigns two letter grades to each Member of Congress based on their legislative record on Palestine: one based on their lifetime record in Congress through the 118th Session of Congress (2023-25), and one for their record in the current session of Congress. Tracks supporters and opponents of a ceasefire in Gaza, votes on legislation, letters, and the amount of "anti-Palestinian dollars" accepted by the Representative or Senator. Grades assess records on matters including Palestinian rights, anti-Palestinian bigotry and attacks on Palestinian Americans, military aid to Israel, Gaza ceasefire, ending Israel's occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza, pursuit of accountability for Americans "targeted by the Israeli government," and Israel's adherence to international law and "obligations." Site includes a methodology section for more information on how it assigns grades.
This source is valuable for research on Palestine in US policy, US-Israel relations, and congressional voting records on Palestine. The Congress Scorecard is an effective grassroots organizing tool for engaging US elected officials and everyday Americans in Palestinian rights activism.
