.@WilliamLambers is right: The administration is inflicting horrors on children. He cites Americans’ growing calls for diplomacy and a no-nukes peace. ☮️ More ⬇️
A motion in support of the Vermont Defend the Guard Act (H.355), passed the Brattleboro, VT Town Meeting unanimously on Saturday. The bill would prohibit deployment of the Natl Guard to combat absent congressional authorization, per the U.S. Constitution. #DefendTheGuard#VTpoli
This bill got a legislative hearing in Massachusetts, and clearly in New Hampshire, but apparently Matt Birong of Vermont is blocking a hearing. Because it might not pass? What?!
At our press conference 3/10/26 our director @iefrantz shared the #DefendTheGuard endorsement of Ben Cohen, the Ben of Ben & Jerry's:
“The Vermont House of Representatives should immediately hold a hearing on the Vermont Defend the Guard Act (H.355).”

🚨US & Israel are conducting illegal strikes against Iran in the midst of diplomatic talks
☎️Call 1-833-STOP-WAR (1-833-786-7927)
🗳️Congress will vote THIS WEEK on a War Powers Resolution to block this illegal war. Tell your members to VOTE YES!
First Venezuela. Then Greenland. Now more reckless saber rattling from Trump. Attacking Iran would be illegal, dangerous, and unwise. No more endless wars.
This year we’ve written you about all sorts of global crises. Tonight we share a wish for YOU:
May you be at peace.
May you feel love.
May you see the light.
From here on out the days get longer, and the light returns. ☀️
Help us spread the light — https://t.co/QaQrcTBbnH
It is time to confront, clearly and honestly, the danger of normalizing violence without law and power without limit, says @BrianMGarvey. https://t.co/q6S3dtQ99h
Thank you @RepMcGovern for your leadership on this #WarPowers issue. #NoKings means no unilateral invasions of sovereign nations. Congress gets to decide.
TELL YOUR HOUSE REP TO SUPPORT HR 64
Majority of Americans oppose the invasion of Venezuela
House Resolution 64 was introduced to direct the removal of US Armed Forces from hostilities against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress

Letter to the Editor in @TheRecorderNews: Congress’ failure to defend constitutional powers.
.@RepMcGovern & @RepPressley were right to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs bill to stop enabling the Gaza genocide. Now we need them to take the next step.

Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed with @SenSanders & @MikeLeeforUtah a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.
10 years ago this week, the US began supporting the Saudi-Emirati-led coalition in bombing Yemen, creating a humanitarian crisis. Saudis stopped April 1, 2022. Now, exactly 10 years after the US-backed war on Yemen began, the U.S. is back at it, bombing directly. #YemenCantWait
@theactioncorps The U.S. has been bombing the Houthis in Yemen throughout 2024, as have the UK and Israel. Recent attacks have been particularly massive and devastating to civilian infrastructure.
We encourage @SenMarkey and @SenWarren and the rest of our congressional delegation including @RepMcGovern@RepPressley and colleagues to stand up for the will of the American people, the Constitution, and their congressional #WarPowers.
There is no military solution to the crisis in the Middle East. Civilians are paying the price. The unconstitutional attacks by the U.S. on Yemen must stop. 🛑 #CeasefireNOW Congress, reclaim your #WarPowers before it’s too late. ⏰
Great to see both @SenWarren and @SenMarkey vote with humanity — and the majority of their constituents — in support of blocking illegal sale of weapons to the Israeli government. BTW did you see arrest warrants have been issued for leaders of Israel and Hamas? Good.
In August, @ActionCorpsVT and allies secured a commitment from @SenSanders to introduce the JRDs.
Last night 19 U.S. Senators made history by voting to restrict offensive weapons to the Israeli government while it starves Gaza.
