Write an Email to Rep. Carbajal
Sample Message:

Hello. My name is __________ and I'm a constituent from Santa Barbara, CA. I urge you, Representative Carbajal, to cosponsor and vote in favor of Congressman Meek’s legislation H.J.Res.15 ([link removed]) and H.J.Res.16 ([link removed]) This legislation would stop the shipment of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of new weapons to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia, along with the UAE, is a leading driver of violence in Yemen and has helped create the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. The Saudi coalition’s airstrikes and blockade are responsible for the majority of civilian casualties. Hospitals, markets, and essential infrastructure have been destroyed, crippling Yemen’s economy.

Yemen needs humanitarian aid and a ceasefire, not more bombs.

I also ask you to publicly urge the Biden administration to immediately reverse the Trump administration's designation of the Houthis in Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization. Such an unwarranted designation will result in a virtual blockade of all food and medicine desperately needed in Yemen.

I look forward to hearing from you on these urgent requests.

Sincerely,
