Tell Congress: Stop the Boat Strikes
The 200th killing in the Trump administration’s reckless boat strike campaign is as unjustified, unnecessary, and illegal as the first.
Whether by passing a war powers resolution to prevent further strikes or refusing to fund a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget that will pave the way for more violence, Congress must take immediate action to end these strikes.

Why is this important?
Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth’s illegal boat strikes have now killed more than 200 people off the coasts of South America, but we haven’t forgotten — and we refuse to stay silent.
200 deaths mark a grim milestone in an illegal campaign that has slipped under the radar while the Administration distracts by proliferating more violence elsewhere.
Lawmakers have the power to act and stop these strikes. But they’re unlikely to if they think people like you and groups like ours aren’t paying attention, or worse, that we don’t care. That’s why we need to get loud today.
