Tell Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin: Don’t sanction Lebanon! Sign Our Petition

Dear John,

In the wake of the devastating, deadly explosion in Beirut, the Trump administration just announced it will be dealing another blow to the people of Lebanon: economic sanctions. Haven't the people of Lebanon suffered enough? This is why we are demanding Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin rescind the threat of sanctions and stop meddling in Lebanon!

1. Sign our petition to stop U.S. sanctions on Lebanon.

2. Then, join the conversation to learn more.

Tomorrow, Saturday, August 15 at 1 PM ET, Jodie Evans will be talking with Lebanese actress and activist Sarah Himadeh, who is on the ground in Beirut right now. They will be speaking about how we can support Beirut and build a local peace economy. RSVP here to join us!

As the people of Lebanon attempt to begin rebuilding their government and cherished capital city, Beirut, they need support and cooperation from the rest of the world. Instead, the U.S. has decided to sanction against prominent Lebanese politicians and business figures, purportedly in an effort to drive a wedge between Hezbollah and its allies. But we know that economic sanctions always end up harming innocent people the most.

This wave of sanctions has the potential to be even more harmful than most. The Trump administration is being quite transparent about its goal of shaping the newly-formed Lebanese government. If it succeeds, the people of Lebanon could be stuck with a government that works to serve U.S. interests for years to come.

Any way you slice it, sanctions kill. It is cruel for the Trump administration to impose them on Lebanon at a time when the country is already suffering so deeply. Tell Steve Mnuchin and the Trump admin: say NO to sanctions and say YES to peace, goodwill, and humanitarianism!

From Cuba to Venezuela to Iran: we will never stop fighting for an end to brutal and destructive sanctions. Now, it is time to fight for Lebanon.

Toward peace,
