Championing justice in solidarity with people most affected by climate disasters and violent conflict. Local team of @theActionCorps which grew out of Oxfam.
The U.S. and Israeli bombings of Iran are illegal acts of war that risk dragging the U.S. into another endless, catastrophic conflict. This kills the diplomatic process and endangers us all. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution to immediately end this unauthorized war.
CALL TO ACTION 🚨
Action Corps calls for the immediate release of Sami Safi, a 20 year old Palestinian American citizen who was kidnapped by the IDF from her home without any charges.
Call : (202) 224-3121 and demand for her release.
Antipathy in Congress was an issue for the president and for the Saudi crown prince. So while the president can physically technically continue to wage this war against Iran as long as Congress continues to fund it, politically the cost goes up as Congress votes to end it.
The U.S. gives Israel $3.8B a year. In return, Israeli forces arbitrarily detained American citizen Sama Safi, 20, in a West Bank raid on her families home.
No charges. Unknown whereabouts. Congress must act to secure her immediate release!

U.S. is sharing intelligence with the IDF which enables their destructive war on south Lebanon.
2 mil Lebanese civilians face permanent ethnic cleansing, 3400 civilians killed
Call your Representative today and urge a YES vote on @RepRashida’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution
🎉 The House just passed the bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution! This particular kind of resolution can’t be vetoed by the president. Together we will keep building the pressure for Congress to do the will of the American people for peace. ⬇️
Israel’s invasion of Lebanon has killed 3k+ people and displaced another 1.2 million. Call your representative today and urge them not to side with Benjamin Netanyahu, but with Lebanese-Americans and ALL Americans by voting YES on @RepRashida War Powers Resolution on Thursday.
This spring 12 U.S. senators -- led by my @SenPeterWelch -- wrote to @CENTCOM asking for answers about U.S. participation in war on Lebanon and mass forced displacement of civilians in Lebanon and Iran. AFAIK the admin has not responded. It's time for the House to up the ante.
I had a good convo w/ @RepBeccaB last month about #WarPowers Resolution to stop ALL U.S. participation in Trump-Bibi war on Lebanon. Unfortunately she hasn't yet publicly pledged to stand up to U.S. participation in the genocidal war. Call ]Congress at 202-224-3121 #VTpoli ⬇️
TAKE ACTION TODAY 🚨
Call your Representative and urge them to vote YES on @RepRashida’s War Powers Resolution for Lebanon.
The U.S. has illegally backed Israel’s war on Lebanon w/o Congressional authorization. Over 3,000 civilians have been killed and 1.2 million displaced.

Amanda Janoo, candidate for VT Governor, endorsed Defend the Guard legislation. To our state legislators: please make a similar statement and ask others to do the same.

NO US-ISRAEL "INTEGRATION" FOR KILLING!
If @HASCRepublicans & @HASCDemocrats allow this provision to make it to the floor, @JustFP will urge all Members of Congress to support @RepThomasMassie's amendment!
HASC should just strip this shameful provision out immediately.
Join us June 3 at 8:30 PM ET for an action call with Lebanese-American analyst and Quincy Institute intern @Janetabouelias on Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing in South Lebanon. This call is critical as Congress is set to vote on @RepRashida’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

As Israel continues its illegal seizure of Lebanese territory, the U.S. remains complicit through continued intelligence support w/o congressional authorization. The house must pass @RepRashida Lebanon War Powers Resolution to put an end to this madness.
Why are some Democrats provoking Trump to say engaged in this unconstitutional and immoral war on Iran? All polling indicates majority of Americans + Dem voters want the war on Iran to end.
Democrats can’t make the same mistake with Iran like they did with Gaza.
Action Corps expresses its deepest condolences to the victims of the attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
Authorities are currently investigating this heinous act as a hate crime.
Islamophobia is a wicked evil that has no place in our society.
We applaud the U.N. and the parties to the conflict in Yemen for negotiating this historic release of detainees. This is a testimony to the power of people to resolve conflicts in the absence of foreign military aggression. #YemenCantWait
Hats off to @RepRoKhanna & @RepValHoyle for being the latest co-sponsors of the Lebanon War Powers Resolution introduced by @RepRashida & @repdeliaramirez. Thank you for continuing your opposition to illegal U.S. wars. https://t.co/EofBpcwSuW
We proudly support @RepRashida Nakba resolution. It’s important we recognize the plight of the Palestinian people and their right to self determination as dignified human beings who have claim to their ancestral homeland.
