Despite diplomacy being the only way to truly keep people safe and avoid violence, Trump is ratcheting up the temperature on war with Iran. He’s deployed “two aircraft carriers, a dozen warships, hundreds of fighter jets and multiple air defense systems” to the region, and experts are sounding the alarm on what looks like a “massive, weeks-long campaign.” And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just made a special trip to DC where he tried to sabotage nuclear diplomacy and pave the path to war yet again. We have the narrowest window of time to prevent a new endless war in the Middle East. We can’t overstate the danger of this moment. Congress can — and must — pull us off the path toward a war that no one wants. We can’t afford for them to wait until Trump makes good on his threats to bomb Iran: To get lawmakers to act NOW, they need to hear from tens of thousands of constituents, from people like you.

Disturbing reports have revealed a deal between the Pentagon and an Israeli government-owned weapons firm for $210 million in advanced cluster munitions. They kept it quiet for a reason: Cluster bombs, banned by 123 nations, are infamously designed to unleash devastating, indiscriminate violence and mass suffering, even long after a war has ended. As many as 93% of their casualties are civilians, the vast majority children. The victims include farmers working their land. Children playing soccer. Families walking home from a wedding. This unique deal, where the U.S. government is buying, not selling, comes amidst evidence that the Israeli military recently used these widely-banned weapons in Lebanon. None of these reasons stopped the Pentagon from buying cluster bombs in one of its largest weapons purchases in decades. But you know what can? Congress. Congress has the oversight power to stop this sale, and with enough people speaking out, we can block this dangerous deal before more lives are put at risk.

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is the only remaining agreement limiting the expansion of the U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals. On February 5, 2026, the treaty is set to expire. That would mean NO limits at all on the expansion of the U.S. or Russian nuclear arsenals for the first time in more than 50 years. Trump clearly has no problem with recklessly dragging the U.S. into conflict abroad — launching a lawless coup in Venezuela, threatening to seize Greenland, and pushing us closer to another endless war in the Middle East, this time with Iran — in the new year alone. If we allow New START to expire with no backup plan, Trump will have yet another avenue to fulfill his authoritarian goals — one that puts the entire world at risk. History has shown us what a new nuclear arms race means: Communities poisoned, ecosystems destroyed, billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars funneled toward war profiteers, all for weapons that put us all at risk. It’s a fate we can avoid if we put collective pressure on lawmakers to act NOW and avoid a new nuclear arms race before it begins.

After bombing Caracas, capturing then-Venezuelan President Maduro, and announcing intentions to “get the oil flowing,” it’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump is preparing to “run” Venezuela’s internal affairs while extracting its resources under threat of future violence. It’s a plan as ill-conceived as it is dangerous — and it’s already becoming clear U.S. taxpayers are likely to be left holding the check. While Secretary of State Rubio initially claimed that their plan for Venezuela’s oil is “not going to cost us anything,” experts estimate that building up Venezuelan oil infrastructure could cost $115 BILLION. Now, Trump is suggesting that taxpayers’ dollars could be used to reimburse oil companies for the “tremendous amount of money” required to invest in Venezuela. While prices skyrocket at home, taxpayers must NOT be on the hook for oil companies in Trump’s lawless plan to pillage Venezuela’s oil. Fortunately, Rep. Mike Levin and Sen. Jeff Merkley just introduced legislation to prevent that from happening — and we need everyone in Congress to add their urgent support.

Ignorance and avarice have corrupted every level of American society. The oligarchy, kleptocracy, and kakistocracy must be brought to heel. American workers will not tolerate the rule of war criminals, treasoners, and human traffickers.

Iranian protesters demanding their rights have been met with brutal violence by their government. Security forces have reportedly killed thousands of protesters, and a communications blackout makes it difficult to reach people inside the country. We condemn the ongoing violence and repression in Iran. It is uncertain where these historic protests will lead, but one thing must be made clear: The Iranian people should determine their future, not Trump and war hawks in Washington. There’s been no indication that Iranian protestors want a foreign intervention in their country. The troubling reality is that U.S. intervention in Iran is likely to feature violence that kills soldiers and civilians alike, further immiserates millions of people in Iran, and does nothing to help the brave protesters achieve their goals. It’s time for us to do what we do best by turning up the pressure to stop a war and telling Congress that people in Iran deserve solidarity, not bombing.

The Senate took a huge step toward blocking Trump’s war for oil in Venezuela. This is a big deal. This bipartisan rebuke of war is a major blow to Trump’s Venezuela plans, but we’re not done yet. In the coming days, there will be more fights and votes to get this bill across the finish line in the Senate. Our work is cut out for us, and our advocacy can’t let up for one second. Trump has already gone on the offensive, declaring that the five Republicans who voted against endless war “should never be elected to office again.” We need to make sure the pro-peace demands from constituents like you drown out Trump's attacks to hold the 52 senators who voted YES on Sen. Kaine’s war powers resolution in line — and possibly peel off even more Republicans along the way. Anything less than that, and we could lose.

Our government rang in 2026 by bombing Venezuela’s capital, capturing its president, and announcing that the United States will “run” the country for the indefinite future to "get the oil flowing." Reminder: There is NO congressional authorization for these strikes. This operation is illegal – just as the earlier boat strikes off the Latin American coast were illegal. And yet, Trump is already threatening to rinse and repeat this horrible playbook in Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba. Trump cannot rule the United States, nor any other country, like the king he imagines himself to be. Venezuelans must have a say in their own futures, and people in the United States must mobilize to push Congress to take immediate action to rein in this lawless White House. It’s up to us, the people, to make sure lawmakers feel enough heat from constituents to stop Trump from future escalation and violence. Add your name to demand Congress pass a war powers resolution NOW.

 Amazon’s profit last year was $30,400,000,000. Their CEO was paid $29,200,000 for a single year’s work - at least 730 times the amount the lowest worker took home! But they refuse to take care of Pregnant and Disabled Employees. Amazon is hurting pregnant and disabled workers who need accommodations! I started this petition demanding amazon stop forcing employees to choose between their health and their jobs when they request legally required accommodations. As a Amazonian and disabled worker myself, who was denied accommodations, I know the reality of amazons mistreatment first hand. Please sign and help thousands of workers fighting for basic dignity and rights. 

Trump keeps telling us that he’s going to stop endless wars and lower costs. Now, he’s spending taxpayer dollars to invade Venezuela, capture its President, Nicolás Maduro, and declare that the US will now run Venezuela.  We remember the consequences of the Iraq War. We saw through George Bush’s lies and knew that war would only make everyone less safe. We were right.  This moment is a test. Trump and his advisors will be looking to see Americans' reactions to this horror. Any silence will be seen as acceptance. If we don’t loudly push back against more endless war, then the administration will escalate this violence, not just in Venezuela, but across the globe.   Maduro is a dictator who oppressed his own people. Yet this operation has nothing to do with the Venezuelan people or Venezuelan freedom. Instead, as Trump himself said, they are an attempt to build power and profit for the Trump administration and oil industry that wants Venezuela's oil reserves. Trump needs to focus on the problems we have here at home, like making sure people can afford groceries or keep their healthcare, instead he’s spending millions, and potentially billions pursuing violence overseas. It must end. Together we say: NO U.S. OCCUPATION IN VENEZUELA. 

  We, the undersigned, emphasize that Venezuela poses no real threat to U.S. national security. While our country faces serious internal challenges, any military action against Venezuela would not benefit the American people; rather, it would waste vital national resources and further destabilize the region.  Historical experience has shown that military intervention in Latin America does not lead to sustainable outcomes. Diplomacy and peaceful, strategic engagement are the best paths to ensuring America’s true security and interests.    Sign if you agree:         “War with Venezuela brings no security; let us choose peace and rationality.” 

At a moment when public trust in democratic institutions is being tested, Congress must be clear that the use of armed U.S. servicemembers to advance a political agenda—whether through deployment, intimidation, or interference in domestic affairs—undermines the checks and balances that protect our Republic. On November 19th, 2025, Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan released a video reminding members of the U.S. armed forces of their obligation to refuse illegal orders.  In response, the Trump Administration unleashed a torrent of violent rhetoric, including President Trump posting on social media that these lawmakers should perhaps be executed.  Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced a sham Pentagon investigation targeting Senator Kelly, a retired Navy Captain.  These actions violate some of the most basic principles of our democracy. We believe elected officials should ensure that members of the military know their rights and the resources available to them should they find themselves in situations where they may receive illegal orders. We call on ALL members of Congress to stand with their six colleagues and remind the Executive Branch that the United States military is not a political instrument, but an institution loyal to the Constitution and to the country, not to any president or political party.
