DU'er,
Trump's senseless, unprovoked war on Iran has already taken the lives of thirteen American servicemembers and more than 2,500 people across the region; in Iran alone, 1,500 men, women, and children have been killed. The American people -- you, your family, and everyone you know -- are reportedly spending $1-2 billion a day on this war, not to mention the skyrocketing prices we're suddenly paying, because of the war, for basic everyday needs.
And now the regime wants another $200 billion for their war?! Hell. No.
Trump and "Secretary of War" Hegseth attacked Iran without so much as a backward glance at the Constitution, which grants war powers to Congress, not the president, and have since offered a dizzying array of rationales and ostensible plans, picking and choosing by the day, hour, or whim which story to tell us, the people paying for it.
We need to be very loud and very clear: We do not want this war. And we demand our elected officials use their power to end it.
1. Email your Members of Congress now and tell them to not give Trump more funds to prolong this illegal war. Demand they conduct oversight, continue to force votes on War Powers Resolutions, oppose the war publicly, and absolutely refuse to give it another penny.
2. Follow up with a phone call. Regardless of party, we have to let every Member of Congress know that their constituents don't want to pay for Trump's wholly unnecessary carnage, don't want to send more Americans to die or be injured, and will remember how they vote. Call your senators and then call your representative.
3. Attend a No Kings protest on March 28. No Kings means no lawless imperial wars. If you oppose this war, show up and make your voice heard next weekend. Then ask three friends to join this.
4. Help make this a world-historic day of protest by sharing our No Kings, No War video, far and wide on your social platforms, among loved ones, with folks you know from the movement. Here are links to the video on Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Substack.
From the war's first day, Trump has made it clear he has no objective, no plan, no clue: It'll take a few days, might last four weeks, has already been won (mostly), could be fought forever; requires the assistance of our not-at-all interested allies, doesn't require a stinking coalition, but maybe it does, no wait, nope, not at all.
And, in a rare moment of possible lucidity, the flailing wannabe-king even mused that maybe we shouldnt even be there.
No member of Congress should give this flailing wannabe-king a single penny to continue a war that even he doesnt seem to be sure we should be waging.
Tell your members of Congress: End this war.
Then show up on March 28 to make sure they get the message: No Wars. No Kings.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
P.S. On Tuesday, March 24, Indivisible will host our monthly Fight Back With Friends call, a one-hour training session that will give you the tools and guidance to connect with friends, family, and neighbors to call them into this movement and empower them to make their voices heard. Next week we'll be laser-focused on demanding an end to Trump's bloody war of choice. Join us if you can!
