Today’s Action: End our Illegal War in Yemen
We’re currently at war – illegally – with Yemen, in what the United Nations has called “the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.”
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been seiging Yemen with airstrikes and causing purposeful starvation for years, where a Yemeni child under five dies every ten minutes. And the US has provided the weapons and air-strike-support to Saudi Arabia, despite never being authorized by Congress or debated by the public.
In a show of bipartisan opposition, Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Chris Murphy (D-CT) have introduced a resolution to withdraw our unauthorized military support.
Only Congress has the power to declare war, but our war efforts in Yemen never received Congressional approval.
And yet, the US has continued to participate in a war that has left more than 10,000 civilians dead and 40,000 wounded. On top of that, fifteen million people have no access to clean water, and nearly 60 percent of the total population has no reliable access to food.
Our participation in this crisis is unconscionable and inhumane, and needs to stop now.
No more lives lost — end this illegal war.
