Trump’s unauthorized, unprovoked war in Iran has already cost the lives of US service members and thousands of civilians in Iran and across the Middle East. The war has devolved into a larger regional conflict, with missile and drone strikes, military operations, and retaliatory attacks now wounding and killing civilians in countries across the Middle East. And to make matters worse, Trump is threatening a ground invasion, and attacks on civilian infrastructure (which is a war crime).
The American public firmly opposes this unjust war. On top of harming and endangering people abroad, the cost of living continues to soar at home to pay for this violence. The administration is expected to request $200B in increased funding for this chaos, and some in the GOP are calling for cuts to healthcare AGAIN, to finance this war of choice. Some Republicans have signaled their openness to opposing this war, now is the time for them to put their money where their mouths are. This crisis demands action, not just words.
We call on Members of Congress to respond to this crisis and:
Block any funding for this war. Not one dime.
Use War Powers Resolutions to force votes to end this war.
Hold Trump administration officials accountable for their crimes and corruption.
