John,
I just signed on to the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump from dragging us into another endless war — this time with Iran.
Let me be clear: The President does not have the power to unilaterally declare war. Congress has the authority — and the duty — to step in before more innocent lives are lost. We’ve seen this before — in Iraq, in Afghanistan — and we can’t allow history to repeat itself for the sake of political points or profit.
If you agree that we can’t let Trump or anyone else lie us into another war, I’m asking you to stand with me today. These moments take moral clarity — but they also take grassroots power to push back against the war machine and the establishment forces fueling it.
Trump has shown — again — that he’s more than willing to exploit this escalating crisis between Israel and Iran to score political points and serve the war profiteers. We’ve seen this playbook before. Iraq. Afghanistan. The lies. The loss. The cost — paid by everyday people here and abroad.
We won’t stand by and let it happen again. Not on my watch.
That’s why I signed onto this resolution — alongside a group of colleagues — to demand that Congress reclaim its constitutional power and prevent another disastrous, unauthorized war.
When some profit from endless war, the rest of us pay the price.
When I say I’m willing to speak truth to power, I mean it, because silence isn’t an option.
You’ve always had my back when I’ve been one of the first to stand up and speak out. I’m asking you to stand with me again today.
The same forces that lied us into Iraq are back at it. They’re counting on people like us to stay quiet, stay scared, and stay out of the way.
But that’s not what this movement is about. We're not afraid to speak truth to power — even when it's unpopular. We fight for the people, not for war.
Let’s keep doing that — together.
In solidarity,
Summer Lee
P.S. It’s going to take a people-powered campaign to stand up to the war machine and those trying to silence us. Every contribution counts — no matter the size.
