Not Another Dollar for the War on Iran: Demand Congress Cut Off the Funds
Voters rejected endless war and demanded leaders who put our safety and economic security first. Now, we demand that you use Congress’s power of the purse to end the U.S. war on Iran and reject any appropriation that Trump can use to fund war and violence, including the proposed $1.5 trillion total Pentagon budget request and any continued war funding.
Why is this important?
Voters delivered a resounding anti-war mandate on Election Day. They want leaders who listen, make life more affordable, and put our safety first. Congress must now choose: Listen to the people and reject a bloated Pentagon budget OR continue to prop up Trump’s war machine.
We don’t have to wait for the new Congress to be sworn in on January 3 to turn our anti-war vision into reality. Lawmakers are debating and negotiating multiple legislative vehicles that could plow more than $1.5 TRILLION toward the Pentagon today.
We know Congress must leverage the power of the purse to cut off funds for Trump’s war immediately. But after inexcusable absences sunk a crucial effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, it’s clear that not enough lawmakers are feeling the heat from their constituents. That changes now.
