Action Alert
One timely call for peace, human needs, and an end to war funding.
📞 Support War Powers votes. Strip U.S.-Israel military expansion from the NDAA.
Congress is expected to take up War Powers measures related to Lebanon and Iran, while the defense bill includes dangerous language that would further entrench U.S.-Israel military collaboration. Call the Congressional switchboard and ask to be connected to 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 War Powers measures that stop unauthorized U.S. military action, including H.Con.Res. 84, H.Con.Res. 86, and S.J.Res. 185. I also urge Congress to oppose Section 224 of the NDAA and any other provisions that expand U.S.-Israel military collaboration, block weapons transfers to Israel, support H.R. 3565 / the Block the Bombs Act, and cut the Pentagon budget. Our tax dollars should fund healthcare, education, housing, climate resilience, and human needs — not weapons, war, and corporate military contractors.
