===Iran nuke deal===
In a rebuff to the [[American Israel Public Affairs Committee]], four key Brooklyn congresspeople, representing large concentrations of [[Jewish]] voters, came out in support of the [[Iran nuke deal]]. Early defense of President Obama's diplomacy by the [[Congressional Black Caucus]] and [[Congressional Progressive Caucus]] played a role., as well as the work of Leader Pelosi's office.
A national day of action, initiated by [[MoveOn]], focused on meetings with congresspeople who were still on the fence. The grassroots group [[Brooklyn For Peace]] played a particularly important role in mobilizing on short notice over 200 constituents to meet with undecided Democratic Reps. [[Hakeem Jeffries]], [[Yvette Clarke]], and [[Nydia Velasquez]].<ref>[http://peoplesworld.org/brooklyn-reps-rebuff-aipac-back-iran-deal/ PW, Brooklyn reps rebuff AIPAC, back Iran deal] by: Chris Butters September 9 2015</ref>
