The Trump administration bombed Iran's nuclear sites on June 21, choosing military action over diplomacy, violence and war over peace and true security. We need your help urgently to push your members of Congress to demand a better approach to the conflict with Iran. The painful truth is Iran had joined a binding, verified accord to dramatically limit its nuclear enrichment program, but President Trump pulled the United States out of that agreement back in 2018. More recently, he started talks with Iran about a new agreement, but these bombings undermine that effort. Military intervention is unlikely to permanently stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon should it choose to do so, while sharply weakening any trust between the two countries and our best tools for nonproliferation and disarmament. Whereas we know diplomacy works. Write today and demand that your members of Congress: 1) publicly denounce the attacks on Iran; and 2) call on the president use diplomacy instead of bombs with Iran's leaders. The path forward cannot be military action—it must be diplomacy and cooperation.

Americans want diplomacy, not more costly forever wars. President Trump’s dangerous actions have put the American people in jeopardy. We need to act now to deescalate tensions and establish diplomacy.  Both the House and Senate have introduced war powers resolutions to limit the president's ability to deploy U.S. armed forces to conflicts in other countries without congressional approval. Trump has betrayed the constitution and the American people. We deserve to know exactly how every member of Congress votes in this critical moment in history.  We want diplomacy and peace. And we want our taxpayer dollars to go to funding hospitals, Medicaid, and food assistance—not blank checks for an endless war.   Sign the petition to demand your elected officials restore checks and balances to prevent the president from unilaterally escalating war between the U.S. and Iran.

Ceasefires save lives, and we welcome any action that stops the violence. An Israel-Iran ceasefire is a positive step, but the situation remains fragile. We must remain vigilant and ready to push back on ANY attempts by this administration to drag us into a devastating, unnecessary war. What happens next will be crucial — and this is the moment to keep going and do what we do best: Demand the kind of diplomacy that is capable of building a lasting peace. The potential for the bombings to resume is high, and we can’t risk the chance that Trump orders or supports further military action. Congress must immediately convene to pass war powers resolutions that block Trump from further escalation and demand diplomacy. The good news? Two urgently needed war powers resolutions — including bipartisan legislation in the House — have already been introduced. With your help, we’ll build enough pressure to send a massive reminder to all DC decisionmakers: NO WAR.

Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our national security at risk.  Instead of prioritizing our safety, he is bending the knee to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and jeopardizing American troops for yet another war that none of us want. Congress needs to act quickly, and use their full legislative authority to rein in Trump. Our Congressional lawmakers have a responsibility to their constituents and our country to hold Trump accountable and end his war mongering.  Add your name to the petition NOW! 

Trump’s reckless and illegal actions just put us on the brink of a major war with Iran, putting millions of people in immediate danger. Trump ordered multiple B-2 bombers to drop bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran: an under-mountain facility at Fordow, a larger enrichment plant at Natanz, and a third site near the ancient city of Isfahan. Iranian retaliation is horrifyingly likely and millions of people across an entire region are at incredible, urgent risk. This is nothing short of a national emergency. That’s why Congress must immediately convene to pass war powers resolutions that block Trump from further escalation and demand diplomacy. Today, we need to do what we do best: Turn up the pressure to stop a war.

No matter how Trump and Stephen Miller dress them up, their recently announced travel ban and ALL the others they have attempted amount to the same thing: A racist immigration policy that leaves people to suffer and struggle. Communities across the country have recently seen their neighbors disappeared, abducted, detained, and deported. With the latest iteration of Trump’s infamous Muslim Ban set to go into effect as soon as 12:01 AM on June 9, the chaos, fear, and harm will only deepen. Make no mistake: Travel bans do not make anyone safer. Centering bigotry and hatred at the heart of U.S. immigration policy will only separate families, demonize immigrants, and strip our country of the values — of the people — who help make it great. But we anticipated this move, and that’s why we’re ready to demand the kind of policies that keep people — everywhere — safe. The good news? Champions in Congress are speaking out. That’s the kind of leadership necessary to repeal these hateful bans, remind the White House that Congress — and people like us — have a say in our governance, and send a crucially needed message of hope and welcome to people whose lives Trump is upending. It’ll take a sustained groundswell of opposition in the coming days and months to make it happen. How do we get that? You. Sign now to send every member of Congress a loud and clear message: No Ban Ever.

As Trump formally accepts a $400 million 747 jumbo jet from the Qatari government, elected officials across party lines are sounding the alarm over its ethical, legal, and security risks.  Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito said the White House would “need to look at the constitutionality" of the “gift.” Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth raised questions about the plane’s ability to be operationally secure. And Representatives and Senators have urged the Department of Justice and other government watchdogs to launch investigations into this deal.  The timing is convenient — and reeks of corruption. This “gift” comes amidst the Trump company’s first foreign deal since Trump returned to office — building a luxury golf resort in Qatar — as well as the announcement of a $2 BILLION weapons sale to the Qatari government. So far, the White House has evaded questions. But with bipartisan dissent, pressure is mounting. One thing that can help tip the balance toward justice and accountability? A message to lawmakers that’s tens of thousands of people strong.

Tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue. Soldiers marching in lockstep. Lines of apocalyptic missiles on display. A hyper-nationalist spectacle fit for a dictatorship. This is Trump’s vision for a war parade that he’s trying to stage on June 14, the Army’s anniversary, which conveniently falls on the same day as his 79th birthday. This isn’t about honoring service. It’s about idolizing power. And like everything Trump touches, he expects someone else to foot the bill. Thankfully, Rep. Steve Cohen introduced H.R. 2761, the Halting All Parades for Presidents’ Yearly Birthdays; It Risks Taxpayer Harm, Damages, And Your (HAPPY BIRTHDAY) Budget Act, to block this absurd spectacle and protect your tax dollars from being squandered on personal glorification. Congress holds the keys to the purse and can prevent even a single taxpayer dollar from being used to fund Trump’s vanity stunt. We need to flood Congress with messages from activists like you demanding they pass the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act and refuse to authorize so much as one penny toward a tank parade.

It’s a budget betrayal of working families, immigrants, and communities already pushed to the brink:  Congressional Republicans would funnel TRILLIONS to weapons contractors, private prison profiteers, and mass deportation operators. The kicker? They’d gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP to pay for it all.  If this bill reaches the President’s desk, it’ll do one thing: Embolden an unaccountable MAGA regime deadset on prioritizing billionaires' wallets over our communities' needs. The House passed this budget reconciliation package — and exposed deep divisions within Republican ranks that put this bill on thin ice in the Senate. It gives us an opportunity to derail these misguided priorities as this dangerous budget inches closer to the finish line. To seize it, your Senators need to hear from you now:

ABC News reports it may be the “most valuable gift EVER extended to the United States from a foreign government:” Trump has reportedly accepted a $400 million “palace in the sky” from the Qatari royal family that he plans to use as Air Force One — until he transfers the Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to his presidential library foundation. It’s a security risk. It’s a corruption concern. It’s likely unconstitutional. And nothing is free. But the cost is so much higher than private jets and tech: These “gifts” and “investments” come amidst news of record-breaking arms sales: including nearly $2 BILLION in advanced MQ-9B drones to Qatar. If you’re thinking “someone should do something,” the good news is that someone is. The Senate has the authority to check Trump’s self-dealing weapon sales, and Senator Chris Murphy has vowed to force a vote to do exactly that. The thing is, even a Senator can’t work alone.

We need to talk about the Golden Dome — Trump’s pipe dream for a space-based missile shield.  The program itself is fanciful, outrageously expensive, and a magnet for corruption. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the Golden Dome has a $542 BILLION price tag, though Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT.) — who supports the program — predicts the total costs could actually reach TRILLIONS. More importantly, it likely won’t even work. One physicist called it a “fantasy” and others have said the technology could take years to develop. In response, other governments will only expand and upgrade their nuclear arsenals, leaving us in what one missile defense expert told NPR would be “at best, the same place we are today, and most likely a much worse place.” The ONE group that won’t lose? Weapons contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and SpaceX who stand to rake in HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars if the Golden Dome becomes reality. ‘Golden Dome’ is as unrealistic as it is wasteful, but that’s not stopping the Trump administration from demanding a $25 BILLION down payment for it — even as Republicans consider slashing funding for programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Activist voices in this moment are crucial. That’s why we’re asking you to speak out today:

Refugees from Ukraine who came to the US legally need to have an opportunity to work to support their families and contribute to the US economy by paying taxes. The government of the US is refusing to renew their work authorization, forcing them to start working illegally and be on social financial assistance. This assistance doesn’t provide enough financial support, robs them of dignity to provide for their families, and prevents them from contributing to the US economy.
