John,
Congress can act this week to end Trump’s illegal warmongering in Venezuela — and may vote as early as Thursday.
We need fast, visible responses directed at members of Congress to prevent Trump from taking further dangerous military actions, and to get our focus back on running our own country.
Join our emergency Healthcare Not Warfare organizing call with special guests including WFP Director of Strategy Nelini Stamp and Reps. Ilhan Omar and Greg Casar tonight, Wednesday, January 7 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT to share our opposition to Trump’s warmongering in Venezuela and to learn about meaningful actions you can take to stop more endless war.
RSVP: Healthcare not Warfare
Breaking U.S. and international law in the name of regime change makes us all less safe. Trump does not have the power to go to war without congressional authorization, or to hand control of another country over to a cadre of oil companies. This illegal occupation could destabilize the region, set a dangerous precedent in the U.S., and embolden other countries to start their own wars of choice.
The Trump Administration claims it targeted Maduro because of drug trafficking. But if Trump were serious about helping end the overdose crisis, he wouldn’t be kicking people off of Medicaid or defunding drug treatment and prevention programs.
Instead, far from putting America first, Donald Trump’s illegal attack on Venezuela is a reckless stunt that will make it even harder for working people to stay afloat.
Wasting billions on bloated military budgets does nothing for communities ravaged by addiction, or the millions of Americans struggling to cover the rising costs of health care. More endless wars will mean even fewer resources at home for the things working families need, like affordable health care, good public schools, and quality child care.
Congress needs to step up and prevent Trump’s dangerous military actions designed to enrich oil companies at the expense of our communities. If you’re with us, join our Healthcare Not Warfare mass call tonight with WFP’s Nelini Stamp, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Greg Casar, MoveOn, Indivisible, Public Citizen, and Win Without War.

In solidarity,
