A dangerous wave of Israeli settler violence is tearing through the West Bank, with roving gangs rampaging through Palestinian villages, beating residents, torching homes and a mosque, and even assaulting Israeli security forces who arrive to restore order. Five Americans have been killed in the West Bank in just the past two years, including most recently Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet, a 20-year-old from Florida who was visiting family when violent settlers beat him and stopped an ambulance from reaching him. Up until this year, an Executive Order helped prevent violence in the West Bank by sanctioning some of the settlers and organizations that were fueling it. But Trump repealed it on his first day in office, allowing the perpetrators of the uptick in violence we’re seeing today to act with impunity. Now, Congress is mobilizing to enshrine these sanctions through the West Bank Violence Prevention Act (H.R.3045 / S.2667) — which just hit a critical milestone of 100 House cosponsors. With your help, we can flood lawmakers’ inboxes with even more support and push this momentum further to help impose costs on violent settlers in the West Bank.

“Kill everybody.” This was Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reported order for a September 2 strike, according to a source close to the series of unauthorized bombings in the Caribbean and Pacific. Some would call it a war crime, but a reminder: we are not at war. What Hegseth ordered is simply murder. Disturbing evidence is emerging that these strikes were both plainly criminal and directed from the very top. Now, powerful members of Congress — from both parties — are demanding answers. But this order is just the latest move by an out-of-control official who abuses his power, undermines the rule of law, and actively harms communities here and abroad, and answers aren’t enough. Impeachment is how Congress must check Secretary Hegseth’s reckless actions and stop him from inflicting future harm. Unfortunately, without pressure from constituents, lawmakers are unlikely to act with the urgency necessary to meet the moment. That’s where you come in.

Under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth watch, recent unauthorized boat strikes in the Caribbean killed more than 60 civilians. This highlights a reckless disregard for civilians and basic standards of international humanitarian law. Treating civilian casualties as an acceptable cost of “showing strength” undermines U.S. credibility with other countries, fuels instability, and puts both service members and communities abroad at greater risk. His explicit effort to rebrand the Pentagon as the “Department of War” is not symbolic; it reflects a worldview that prioritizes aggression and political theatrics over careful, lawful, and restrained use of military power. Civilian lives must never be treated as expendable, and any leader who normalizes such harm and normalizes war crimes cannot credibly claim to be safeguarding our national security, our values, or the service members asked to carry out these operations. Hegseth’s background simply does not meet the standard for this job. For the safety of U.S. troops, the protection of civilians, and the integrity of our democracy, we need to remove Pete Hegseth and confirm a Secretary who values human life, international law, and true defense over permanent, endless war. 

Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Rand Paul (R-KY) recently forced a vote on a War Powers Resolution (WPR) that would’ve BLOCKED Trump’s path to war with Venezuela. Unfortunately, 51 senators shamefully voted to ALLOW Trump to keep marching us to the brink of another war. If you’re outraged, you’re not alone. But as Trump continues to bomb first and ask questions later, this won’t be the last opportunity for Congress to assert its authority and pull us off the path to war. This fight isn’t over. If we are going to flip the handful of votes we need to build a majority of senators willing to exert their constitutional war powers and stop Trump from starting a new endless war, accountability can go a long way. That’s why these 51 senators need to hear from constituents like you.

Trump’s reckless plans to restart U.S. nuclear weapons testing could shatter a three-decade-long moratorium. It’s already kick-started a new phase of a deadly nuclear arms race as Russian President Vladimir Putin responds with threats to restart their testing programs. Don’t forget: A successful nuclear test means building a weapon capable of global ‘annihilation.’ The good news is that without funding, Trump’s testing plans can’t happen — meaning Congress has the power to stop this before the countdown begins. That’s where we come in. If we overwhelm Congress with demands to oppose nuclear weapons testing, we can stop this terrifying plan before Trump drags us any closer toward nuclear catastrophe.

After 18 months of brutal civil war, the suffering in Sudan has reached incalculable levels: 400,000 people are starving as famine spreads, and horrific satellite imagery has captured the bloody remnants of mass killings. While the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is investigated for its role in potential war crimes, it continues to receive weapons from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — the same government that the United States is arming with billions of dollars in weapons deals. The Emirati government is complicit in the suffering in Sudan, and the U.S. has an obligation to hold its allies accountable. One way to leverage that influence? Lucrative U.S. arms sales, which Congress holds the keys to. Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Sara Jacobs reintroduced legislation earlier this year that would prohibit U.S. arms sales to the UAE government so long as it supports the RSF in Sudan. As the largest humanitarian crisis of our time rages on, it’s our job to put pressure on lawmakers to do their part to end the suffering — that starts by urging them to pass the Stand Up for Sudan Act.

While Trump denies reports that the Pentagon is preparing to strike Venezuela, his actions tell a different, disturbing story. More than a dozen U.S. airstrikes in waters near Venezuela have already killed at least 64 people. Trump recently ordered the Navy’s “most lethal” warship to the Caribbean, and he even confirmed that he’s authorized covert CIA action in Venezuela. Actions speak louder than words, and Trump’s warmongering is speaking volumes. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide if and when the United States goes to war. And as Trump pushes us closer to the brink, lawmakers MUST reassert their constitutional authority to keep us from entering a new endless war. Anti-war champions like Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff are racing to introduce multiple pieces of legislation to avoid a war that puts millions of people at unnecessary risk. Now, it’s up to us to make sure every elected official feels enough heat from their constituents to pull us back from the brink of war.

When we sold Ben & Jerry’s to Unilever in 2000, the corporation set up an independent board so Ben & Jerry’s could continue its political statements and social justice work without corporate interference. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. It’s no surprise that all of this is happening at a time when our country’s current administration is attacking Black and brown communities, civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community.  Sticking up for the values of justice, equity, and our shared humanity has never been more important—and yet Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power. It’s easy to stand up and speak out when there’s nothing at risk. The real test of values is when times are challenging and you have something to lose. And we can do something about it. Join us by signing our petition demanding that Unilever stop silencing Ben & Jerry’s and be entered to win a free pint of my sorbet. Then, send it to three friends to spread the word. No purchase, payment, or contribution necessary to enter to win. Void where prohibited. Entries must be received by 11:00 p.m. on February 5, 2026. You may enter by signing the petition here. Alternatively, you can enter without signing the petition. 5 winners will each receive the following prize package: 1 pint of Ben’s pro-ceasefire sorbet, maximum cash value not to exceed $50. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received. Promotion open to all U.S. citizens, or lawful permanent U.S. residents who are legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia and 18 or older (or of majority under applicable law).

The NBA’s partnership with Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates stands in direct contradiction to the league’s values of social justice and equality. The UAE has been accused of funding and arming forces responsible for the genocide in Sudan. Fans are calling on the NBA to end this deal immediately and stand with the people of Sudan.

The absolute last thing we should be doing is removing the guardrails that limit Trump’s ability to unleash nuclear war.  But that’s exactly what will happen on February 5, 2026, if the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is allowed to expire.  New START, the latest version of a treaty dating back to 1991, limits both the U.S. AND Russian nuclear arsenals. That means for the first time in decades, both countries could soon build and deploy as many nukes as they want — no questions asked. The clock is ticking, so we’re turning our sights to Capitol Hill — where legislation has been introduced in both chambers of Congress calling for continued arms control agreements between the United States and Russia. Today, we need you to join us in speaking out to make sure H.Res.100/S.Res.61 and H.Res.317 are a priority for lawmakers and are passed before the last thread of global arms control expires. 

The Israeli government and Hamas have reportedly agreed to phase one of a ceasefire plan that would allow for the release of hostages and detainees, and withdrawal of Israeli military forces from parts of Gaza. After more than two years of pain and suffering, we, along with all those who value peace and justice, welcome news of a pause in the violence and the chance for families to be reunited. Crucially, this means the influx of urgently-needed humanitarian aid to Gaza, and a respite from incredible violence and terror for millions of people across an entire region. Yet in this hopeful moment, too many lives remain at incredible risk, and a Trump administration policy would leave them to suffer unnecessarily. Earlier this year, Trump’s State Department stopped issuing temporary medical-humanitarian visas to people in Gaza — reversing a long-standing policy that allowed a small number of people, many of them children, to access life-saving medical care in the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the pause may be temporary, but that was months ago — and it’s time we made the political costs of this choice too hard to bear. Let’s take advantage of every second of this break in the violence and ensure everyone at State hears overwhelming support to reinstate this policy and help people access the life-saving medical care they need. 

Amidst multiple lethal and likely illegal strikes on boats in the Caribbean, Win Without War is racing to push Trump off the path toward a new endless cycle of violence and devastation. Rep. Ilhan Omar has just given us a golden opportunity to stop Trump’s needless, lawless violence by introducing a War Powers Resolution in the House. Champions in both chambers of Congress are stepping up to do their part. It’s a critical start, but it’ll take more work to rein in the Trump administration. That means it’s our turn to pick up the mantle and rally lawmakers to reassert that Congress, NOT the president, decides if and when the United States. goes to war.
