Current Action Alerts

Use the actions below to contact Congress, oppose new wars and weapons transfers, support diplomacy, cut Pentagon waste, resist domestic militarization, and share resources with service members who are seeking help with conscientious objection or GI rights.

Congress still needs pressure after the Senate failed to move forward on S.J.Res. 184, the Iran War Powers Resolution. Tell your Senators and Representative: no supplemental war funding, no new Authorization for Use of Military Force, no blank check for escalation, no backdoor war funding through reconciliation, and diplomacy now.

Wisconsin note: Thank Sen. Tammy Baldwin for voting yes on S.J.Res. 184. Urge Sen. Ron Johnson to stop backing unauthorized war and future funding for escalation.

⚠️ Why this matters now

• Congress controls funding, authorization, and oversight.
• Even after failed votes, war-powers pressure forces members of Congress to take public positions.
• Backdoor budget maneuvers should not be used to fund an unauthorized war.

Members of Congress have introduced new efforts to block funding for unauthorized military action against Iran, including the No War Appropriations through Reconciliation Act and a separate Iran war funding prohibition. Ask your Representative to support every clean effort to block money for unauthorized war.

The message is simple: no AUMF, no declaration of war, no funding.

☎️ House script

Tell Congress to reject the proposed $1.5 trillion military budget, oppose new Iran war funding, and stop using reconciliation to push through massive enforcement and militarization packages.

Our tax dollars should fund housing, healthcare, education, food, transit, climate resilience, and care — not endless war, weapons contractors, ICE expansion, border militarization, nuclear escalation, and Pentagon waste.

☎️ Call script

📌 Ask Congress to

• Reject record Pentagon spending and budget tricks that hide war spending.
• Oppose Golden Dome, new nuclear weapons spending, and wasteful ICBM modernization.
• Reject reconciliation funding for war, ICE expansion, border militarization, and mass surveillance.
• Protect social programs and invest in communities instead of contractors.

The Senate blocked S.J.Res. 124 procedurally, but Congress still needs to hear from us: no U.S. military action, no blockade, no escalation, and end the embargo on Cuba.

Wisconsin note: Thank Sen. Tammy Baldwin for voting against the procedural block. Urge Sen. Ron Johnson to stop siding with executive war-making and support congressional war powers.

☎️ Senate / House script

Veterans For Peace and flotilla organizers are calling for urgent pressure after Israeli forces intercepted Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla vessels and detained organizers. Demand the release of detained participants, protection for humanitarian organizers, and an end to the blockade of Gaza.

If you are a U.S. service member, Guard member, reservist, or military family member struggling with deployment, orders, conscience, or participation in war, do not make decisions alone. Contact trained counselors for confidential support.

These resources can help people explore lawful options around GI rights, conscientious objection, discharge, reassignment, and related concerns.

Urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor and support H.R. 3565, the Block the Bombs Act, which would restrict transfers of some of the most destructive offensive weapons used in Gaza.

This remains an important live House target. Keep calling, especially where representatives have not yet signed on.

☎️ House script

Tell Congress to support H.Res. 876, Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s resolution recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza and calling for concrete accountability.

Congress must end U.S. complicity, support accountability, and stop weapons transfers that deepen mass civilian harm.
