A horrific death toll across the Middle East is quickly rising as a result of illegal U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran: Among those killed are nearly 150 people at a girls’ elementary school in Iran, three U.S. servicemembers, and at least nine people in the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh. Trump upended promising diplomatic negotiations with missiles and fighter jets. The violence quickly spread across the region, with reports of strikes in Israel, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Today, the bombs continue to fall, and hundreds of millions of people across the Middle East are terrified and directly in harm’s way. Congress cannot stay on the sidelines any longer. We must do all we can to stop the violence immediately. The House and the Senate must pass war powers resolutions (WPR) to end this war before it spirals further. The stakes are perilous, but votes are already being planned. As lawmakers decide how to respond, they need to hear the demands of their constituents — our overwhelming anti-war majority — to vote YES on the WPR.

In his State of the Union address, Trump threatened Iran and refused to rule out launching strikes in a dangerous push toward a new endless war. Congress must block this reckless march immediately. The stakes are perilous: Even limited strikes could ignite violence that could quickly cross multiple borders, with no clear end. Any U.S. military operation will have untold and deadly consequences for people in Iran, U.S. servicemembers, and millions across the region. That’s why we’re racing to stop any action before it starts. Reps. Khanna and Massie’s bipartisan war powers resolution (WPR) to prohibit the use of force against Iran is expected to get a vote in the House as soon as next week. Sens. Kaine and Paul’s parallel Senate legislation is likely to come up soon as well. With these critical votes happening soon, lawmakers need to hear from constituents like you immediately. It’s pressure from groups like ours and people like you that can get a WPR the support it needs to send Trump an undeniable message: No War.

Violence erupted in Mexico recently after a Mexican military raid killed a powerful cartel kingpin. As the cartel responded by setting buses, supermarkets, and banks on fire and blocking highways, tourists were stranded and schools were closed. Dozens of people have been killed. The dark truth is that this violence is fueled by a flood of U.S. guns. Weak U.S. gun laws result in an unlicensed market that pumps up to 500,000 U.S.-made guns to cartels each year. One study traced nearly 70% of guns recovered at Mexican crime scenes back to U.S. manufacturers or importers. This deadly ‘iron river’ of guns exacerbates violence and suffering across both borders. It’s time to dam it up. Sen. Dick Durbin and Rep. Joaquin Castro introduced the Stop Arming Cartels Act to curb cartel power and corruption. This bill isn’t just about stopping international crime — it’s about keeping people, on both sides of the border, safe. It deserves bipartisan support, and you can pressure your lawmakers to pass this urgent legislation by sending a message today:

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.
