    NO funding for Trump’s war on Iran!

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to reject funding for the war on Iran. This horrific war is illegal, unnecessary, and senseless.

    The U.S.-Israeli war of destruction on Iran has killed more than 1255 Iranians and damaged 10,000 civilian structures, including homes, schools, and three dozen medical facilities. New footage revealed that the U.S. launched a tomahawk missile that hit an Iranian girls’ school on the first day of the war, killing some 168 people, nearly all of them children at their morning school sessions.1,2

    Despite these escalating horrors, some Democrats including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries still won’t rule out voting for additional funding for Trump’s criminal war on Iran.3

    Experts estimate the war costs taxpayers $900 million per day,4 meaning Trump’s unconstitutional war has now cost over $9 BILLION. The GOP is planning to ask for an additional $50 billion to continue relentlessly bombing Iran. Congress must unequivocally reject this proposal, which needs 60 votes to pass the Senate.

    Sign the petition: End Trump’s horrific war and block ALL funding for airstrikes on Iran.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military will not abide by “stupid rules of engagement.”5 Hegseth, Trump, and Israeli forces have shown a complete disregard for the laws of war, civilian casualties, and international humanitarian protections.

    A group of Senators are demanding a full probe into the appalling bombing of the Iranian girls’ school that killed so many children.6

    Israeli strikes on fuel depots over the weekend left Tehran covered by a black cloud of toxic smoke, causing breathing problems, eye irritation, and a host of other serious health issues across the city.7

    Congress can’t allow Trump, Hegseth, and a bloodthirsty GOP to continue this war. Our lawmakers must take a firm stand against pledging billions more to bomb Iran.

    Sign the petition: Oppose funding for Trump’s war on Iran NOW!
