Hi,
THIS CAN'T WAIT: We have only a few days to pressure the Senate to end
US-involvement in the brutal war in Yemen! [ [link removed] ]Click here to tell your
senator to get on board.
The Saudi-led war in Yemen has killed an estimated 377,000 people^1 and
exposed tens of millions to horrific famine.^2 All while using US weapons,
intelligence, and assistance.
Senator Bernie Sanders is bringing a War Powers Resolution up for a vote
in a matter of days. That's why it's so critical that you tell your
senator to vote to end US support for the war in Yemen!
[ [link removed] ]Tell your senator: This is URGENT! We urge you to cosponsor, and in
vote in support of, the War Powers Resolution to end US support for the
war in Yemen!
ADD YOUR NAME
So long as the US supports Saudi Arabia with billions of dollars in
weaponry and military contracts, we are actively supporting a repressive
regime that imprisons and murders dissidents,^3 that is helping Russia
fund its war in Ukraine,^4 and that is perpetrating one the world’s worst
humanitarian disasters.
President Biden has said he is looking to work with Congress to hold Saudi
Arabia accountable for siding with Putin in the war on Ukraine and its oil
price hike for the United States.^5 The Yemen War Powers Resolution
provides the last clear opportunity for Biden to hold Saudi Arabia
accountable on these fronts, and is a direct, measured congressional
response to Saudi Arabia and Mohammed bin Salman for their human rights
violations, including the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
