An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Sue Trump to End the Illegal Iran War

36 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Congress has already passed legislation mandating that Trump withdraw from the Iran war. Now you need to take him to court to enforce it. Rep. Gregory Meeks introduced a resolution in July to compel Speaker Johnson to file that lawsuit. Support it, push it forward, and stop waiting. This war has dragged on for more than six months without a single vote of congressional authorization. Thousands of Iranians, including hundreds of children, and at least 18 American servicemembers are dead. The average household is paying $1,200 more because of this conflict. Hegseth is now extending troop deployments into 2027, and analysts warn the administration's strategy points toward a permanent state of war. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war — not the president. That authority means nothing if you refuse to defend it. As Jamal Abdi of NIAC Action put it, "sitting and doing nothing is not an option." The midterms are approaching and the window to act is closing. File the lawsuit. Enforce the will of Congress. End this war.
