Today’s Action: Tell the House to end U.S. terror Yemen…and reject GOP schemes to weaken the bill

Expected this week: our third recent attempt in the House to end U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, which has already killed up to 80,000 and left 13 million on the brink of starvation.

First blocked by departed former House Speaker Paul Ryan last December, the bill was then strategically weakened earlier this year by the GOP ploy to add additional and unrelated language (a “motion to recommit” or MTR) concerning anti-Semitism. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell then used that MTR to block the bill’s advancement in the Senate…and the devastation in Yemen has been allowed to continue for another month.

House Democrats are bringing the Yemen bill up to bat again, likely this week. And this time, they MUST reject all Republican schemes to weaken, change, or water down the bill — including disingenuous MTRs.

Call or email your Representative and tell them to pass the Yemen resolution without any changes or additions. Tell Democrats to reject ANY Republican motions to recommit or other schemes to water down this bill.

The Saudi-led war in Yemen is being called the worst humanitarian crisis of our time and has been supported by the United States, which has been supplying weapons and fuel to this brutal genocide.

Trump is aggressively supporting the continued murder of the Yemeni people — but he has lost to public pressure before, and we need every Senator and Representative to know that this is an issue worthy of facing him down.

Email or call (202.224.3121) and tell your Representative to pass the Yemen resolution as-written, with no motions to recommit or other changes or additions. Tell Democrats to reject all GOP strategies to weaken the bill…and tell Republicans that 13 million continue to starve, thanks to their earlier maneuver.
