Four U.S. service members are dead. Over 500 Iranians – including at least 153 people in a girls’ school – have lost their lives in just the first days of Trump’s reckless war with Iran. Now, as escalation seems to grow with every hour, Trump has *refused* to rule out sending boots on the ground to Iran – and is rapidly scaling UP the violence.

If Congress doesn’t step up and rein in Trump now, this war will spiral out of control – just like Vietnam, just like Iraq. Congress has the constitutional power – and responsibility – to stop this, but we must overwhelm them with public pressure before the war powers resolution vote THIS WEEK. Our organizers were already in the streets protesting over the weekend, but we can’t stop there.

Headline: At least 153 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says
Over the weekend, girls arrived at school in Iran ready to learn. But then the missile attack hit without warning, and now bodies, schoolbags, and textbooks are still being pulled from the rubble.
Trump’s war is not only immoral and illegal, it’s bankrupting our hopes for a fair economy. While Congress slashes funding for health care, schools, and food for families, Trump is blank-checking a new Middle East war with OUR tax dollars.
We know how disastrous endless wars can be – $6 trillion spent on Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands of American lives lost, millions of civilians killed or displaced, communities shattered at home and abroad. And now, instead of listening to the American people, Trump is threatening more bloodshed, more deployments, more funerals.
Enough. Our Revolution has endorsed the bipartisan Khanna-Massie Iran war powers resolution, which would halt Trump’s ability to use military force in Iran without congressional authorization. The vote in both the House and the Senate will happen THIS WEEK. But the resolutions won’t pass unless Congress feels a tidal wave of outrage from the people.
If we stay silent, Trump will get away with dragging us deeper into war.
Now is the moment to turn anger into action. Let’s remind Congress that it’s their constitutional duty to halt this disaster. Please, click here to demand your members of Congress take action to stop Trump’s illegal, immoral war with Iran. Every second counts:
