The Massachusetts legislature held a hearing on this bill late last year. They should do that again. CT, NH & VT National Guard units have been deployed for Iran War. We need to keep the MA Guard here. Congress hasn’t declared war (nor should it)! #DefendTheGuard @BostonGlobe
Good opportunity for folks in New England whose senators are key players on matters of armed conflict.
Join @TParsi of @QuincyInst & Action Corps for a FREE online training Wed. 8/12 to secure commitments from candidates when they least expect it, to help permanently stop the war against Iran
Short talk, tactics + practice you can use immediately.

Prohibits state National Guard units being deployed into active combat without formal declaration of war by Congress, as provided by the U.S. Constitution.
.@DefendTheGuard passes the NH House after a motion to kill is defeated! We need to stand up and protect our Guardsmen from unnecessary deployments. Congrats to @mannion4nh for getting it done!

Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed with @SenSanders & @MikeLeeforUtah a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.

10 years ago this week, the US began supporting the Saudi-Emirati-led coalition in bombing Yemen, creating a humanitarian crisis. Saudis stopped April 1, 2022. Now, exactly 10 years after the US-backed war on Yemen began, the U.S. is back at it, bombing directly. #YemenCantWait

Thank you @RoKhanna for speaking out for a War Powers Resolution to stop the unconstitutional U.S. attacks on Yemen. #HandsOffYemen

We encourage @SenMarkey and @SenWarren and the rest of our congressional delegation including @RepMcGovern @RepPressley and colleagues to stand up for the will of the American people, the Constitution, and their congressional #WarPowers.
There is no military solution to the crisis in the Middle East. Civilians are paying the price. The unconstitutional attacks by the U.S. on Yemen must stop. 🛑 #CeasefireNOW Congress, reclaim your #WarPowers before it’s too late. ⏰

Too bad @SenJackReed and @SenWhitehouse voted against humanity and US law last night. No famine while they feast. #RIpoli
In August, @ActionCorpsVT and allies secured a commitment from @SenSanders to introduce the JRDs.
Last night 19 U.S. Senators made history by voting to restrict offensive weapons to the Israeli government while it starves Gaza.
@iefrantz’s statement on the historic vote in a🧵.
Our senators should join this resolution too
Our @SenWarren has joined @SenSanders @SenPeterWelch @JeffMerkley @SenBrianSchatz @SenTimKaine in opposing illegal transfers of weapons to the Israeli government while it starves Gaza. @SenMarkey should join his colleagues on this bill in standing with humanity. #mapoli

Our team in Vermont helped push Senator Sanders to introduce the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval. Now it’s your turn—add your voice to get your senators on board and help stop the U.S. from fueling war.

📧 WE NEED YOUR HELP. Tell your senators to stop the U.S. from fueling war in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. With violence escalating and U.S. troops being deployed to Israel, we must reclaim Congress’s power over war decisions. Every voice counts! actioncorps.org/20billion.ht…

Our Rhode Island U.S. senators must introduce and support Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop arming a government that is blocking humanitarian assistance. The U.S. is violating its own policy on this. @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse
As Netanyahu denies his starvation strategy, "more than 1 million people in Gaza will not have enough food this month, while trucks loaded with fresh vegetables or meat spoil waiting to cross Israeli checkpoints." theguardian.com/world/2024/s…
