Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed with @SenSanders & @MikeLeeforUtah a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.

Thank you @RoKhanna for speaking out for a War Powers Resolution to stop the unconstitutional U.S. attacks on Yemen. #HandsOffYemen

Our team in Vermont helped push Senator Sanders to introduce the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval. Now it’s your turn—add your voice to get your senators on board and help stop the U.S. from fueling war.

📧 WE NEED YOUR HELP. Tell your senators to stop the U.S. from fueling war in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. With violence escalating and U.S. troops being deployed to Israel, we must reclaim Congress’s power over war decisions. Every voice counts! actioncorps.org/20billion.ht…
Good to see our neighbors in California building people power and talking up restoration of U.S. humanitarian funding for Palestinian people who have been forced from their homes. @unrwausa
In just days, our organizers, Aseel & Cristian, organized a full-house Action Corps Community Dinner in SF for #WorldFoodDay! Potluck dinner, live music, & discussion on restoring funding to UNRWA.
Join as a member and help us call for global food access! actioncorps.org/member

We are 1 of more than 100 U.S. organizations calling for restoration of U.S. funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency which provides humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. #fundUNRWA

🚨 Read the fact sheet on Bernie's bid for a Senate vote on US weapons for Israel. Several others (Murphy, Welch, Van Hollen) involved– a key factor in how much support this can get. Also note:

We are glad to be one of the 50+ national organizations to sign this letter to @POTUS to restore funding for humanitarian relief in Gaza. This is a moral responsibility. #UNRWA
With civilians and children in Gaza at grave risk of starvation and disease, FCNL, @CIPolicy, and 50+ national organizations sent a letter to @POTUS urging him to restore direly needed humanitarian funding to #UNRWA.

Umm this is unfortunately more relevant than ever. #IDpol
Appreciate folks at @theactioncorps @LibertarianInst @Antiwarcom @yemenrrf @QuincyInst who consistently remind us of constitutional #WarPowers.
US direct war on Yemen?!
No, thank you.
Idea💡:
@SenatorRisch stands up to @POTUS & calls for a vote
As Sen. Frank Church reminded us, Congress has the power to decide on war, NOT the president.
