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.

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.

In a shameful dereliction of duty, the House failed to pass Rep. Jim McGovern’s bipartisan War Powers Resolution (WPR) to prevent war with Venezuela. This vote offered a crucial opportunity for Congress to reassert authority over matters of war and peace as the Constitution intended. It was a razor-thin 213-211 margin, meaning that only two more “yes” votes would’ve sent a powerful, bipartisan rebuke to the Trump administration, derailing his path to war. But we can’t sugarcoat the facts: 213 representatives effectively greenlit Trump’s warmongering in Latin America — paving the way for him to bring us closer to the brink of war. It’s time to hold lawmakers accountable for taking a vote so out-of-touch with their constituents. You can make a difference and push them to change course by sending a message today. Congress must check an out-of-control president on a speedrun toward all-out war that a majority of Americans do NOT want, and we are going to do all we can to make sure this kind of failure doesn’t happen again.

Just about every day, courts are determining that Trump’s domestic troop deployments are as illegal as they are unpopular. Trump has been forced to scale back his attempted takeover time and time again, after a Tennessee judge blocked state National Guard deployments in Memphis, a federal judge ruled Trump’s DC deployment unlawful, a federal court ruled Trump’s use of soldiers in Los Angeles illegal, and the courts stalled deployments in Chicago and Portland. But with his back against the wall, Trump is forging ahead. The latest? Plans to deploy troops to New Orleans before the end of the year. Now, we need to escalate our tactics to stop him. With reports that nearly half a BILLION dollars has already been spent on domestic deployments, it’s time to uncover the truth about how many taxpayer dollars Trump has burned through to pay for this intimidation campaign. Will you join members of Congress in pressuring the Congressional Budget Office to reveal the truth?

If we were at war, recent orders to strike boats in the Caribbean and Pacific would violate U.S. and international law. But we’re not at war, there’s no congressional action authorizing this violence, and these strikes amount to murder. The Trump administration knows it, which is why they’re scrambling to cover up troubling details of a September 2 strike that have lawmakers demanding answers. Defense Secretary Hegseth has recently attempted to justify the strikes that Admiral Bradley carried out under his orders, saying that the shipwrecked survivors clinging to wreckage were “still in the fight.” That claim has been called into question by the handful of lawmakers who have seen footage of the strike, including Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who called it “one of the most troubling scenes I’ve ever seen in my time in public service.” It’s evidence the public deserves to see. It’s also a video Pentagon leadership doesn’t want you to see, because Hegseth and his cronies know that support for their lawless campaign is already on the rocks, and could evaporate further once people in the United States see what’s being done in their names. As multiple lawmakers push the Pentagon to release the video, we need to pile on the pressure by urging ALL lawmakers, on both sides of the aisle, to get answers we deserve.

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.
