Today’s Action: Demand Congressional response to Yemen
The Senate is expected to take up debate this week on the human rights atrocities and U.S. military involvement in Yemen…and even Republicans are starting to turn against Trump on this topic.
Trump has blanket-denied the CIA’s findings that the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was directly responsible for the death of Washington Post journalist and permanent American resident Jamal Khashoggi. The president has continued his praise AND weapons supply for the regime responsible for 13 million Yemenis facing starvation. Why? Well, possibly due to his own private business interests in Saudi Arabia.
And amidst national and international outcry for this willful blindness, enough GOP Senators are finally willing to join Democrats and have a conversation about it. And we have some very specific demands to make (thank you to the good people of ACLU!):
-
End U.S. support of Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, including eliminating refueling of Saudi aircrafts, military advice, and information.
-
Eliminate all U.S. use of force in Yemen, including any actions “justified” under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).
Saudi Arabia’s brutal warfare against Yemen is being called the worst humanitarian crisis of our time — and the United States is both fueling their weapons and contributing to the killings. But if Trump won’t speak up against the death of one journalist, he absolutely won’t stop this deadly supply chain without political pressure. Now that the Senate is talking, it’s important that we have a say in that conversation.
