Dear John,
The efforts we told you about yesterday to stop the war on Iran are gaining momentum on Capitol Hill. War Powers resolutions that would block Trump from dragging the U.S. into Israel’s illegal war on Iran are advancing - watch the lead sponsor Senator Tim Kaine's powererful remarks here.
Meanwhile, pro-war hawks in Congress just introduced a deeply offensive and dangerous resolution that endorses Israel’s assault. This resolution fabricates an “imminent threat” despite U.S. intelligence assessments, and lays the groundwork for direct U.S. involvement in the war. The resolution even highlights the number of Israeli civilians that have been killed and completely ignores the civilian death toll inside of Iran.
👉 Read our full statement on this truly reckless resolution here.
Now is the time to act:
➡️ Tell your lawmakers support the War Powers resolutions - and to oppose the Sherman-Tenney resolution that opens the door to even more bloodshed. Take action here.
➡️ Join us TODAY (6/18 at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT) for our Virtual Action Hour — where we’ll make calls together and demand Congress help stop this war before it escalates. RSVP for the Zoom link.
➡️ See where our community stands: Our nationwide YouGov poll, conducted before the attacks began, shows Iranian Americans overwhelmingly oppose war and support diplomacy. View the results here.
Our community knows the cost of war, and we will not sit silently while it's threatened to be waged in our name.
SUPPORT THIS WORK
In Solidarity,
Jamal Abdi
President, NIAC
