Cross-posting this call to action from the Friends Committee on National Legislation (source):
The United States, without congressional authorization, unleashed war on Iran. The conflict has engulfed several countries as Iran retaliates. U.S. servicemembers, civilians, and our environment are paying the price for President Trump’s illegal actions. Even though we may be in a tentative two week ceasefire, the consequences of the war are still very real. People are still dying and being driven from their homes in Lebanon.
Our demand of Congress is the same: No Funding for War!
Congress has not authorized this war of choice, despite our tax dollars paying for it. With the Pentagon confirming the war costs at least $1 billion per day and the Trump administration may request additional funding, legislators need to hear from constituents that War is Not the Answer and we will not pay for it.
The American people do not want another endless war in the Middle East. Diplomacy is still possible and necessary. Urge your members of Congress to speak out forcefully against the war and reject more funding for this illegal war with Iran!
