Action Alert
Timely calls for peace, human needs, civil liberties, and an end to war funding.
📞 Demand diplomacy, cut war funding, and oppose the bloated NDAA.
Congress is moving through major military spending fights while peace groups continue to push for diplomacy, no unauthorized war, no weapons transfers that fuel mass violence, and no blank check for the Pentagon. Call Senators Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson and your U.S. Representative.
Congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121
Sample message: I am calling to urge Congress to support diplomacy, stop unauthorized U.S. military action, cut off funding for wars Congress has not authorized, oppose bloated Pentagon spending in the NDAA, and reject provisions that deepen U.S.-Israel military collaboration. I also urge Congress to block weapons transfers to Israel and invest our tax dollars in healthcare, education, housing, climate resilience, diplomacy, and human needs instead of weapons, war, and military contractors.
