A coalition of progressive organizations launched a campaign on Tuesday in Washington to pressure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) into resigning from his leadership position.

RootsAction, World BEYOND War, Just Foreign Policy, Veterans For Peace, and Peace Action revealed they are circling a mobile electric billboard around the Capitol on Tuesday and Wednesday to intensify scrutiny of Schumer. They expressed outrage that the Senate minority leader has not fully embraced certain progressive views, including denouncing Israel, signaling the growing backlash Schumer faces from anti-establishment factions in his party.
