On October 20, veterans, military families, and community members are rallying outside congressional offices to demand an end to the war against Iran. If you can’t be there in person, add your voice from wherever you are.

This war was never authorized by Congress. It has killed American service members and civilians, including 120 children in the bombing of the Minab Elementary School. It is costing taxpayers more than $2 billion a week while families here struggle with gas and grocery prices. The House and Senate have both passed War Powers Resolutions directing the President to end hostilities, and he hasn’t complied.

Congress has the tools to stop this. Send a letter to your members of Congress asking them to:

• Defund the war. Oppose any defense spending that doesn’t end the war against Iran.
• Enforce the War Powers Resolutions. Publicly affirm that they’re legally binding, support future resolutions, and take legal action if the President keeps ignoring them.
• Back a durable peace. Support a negotiated agreement and oppose new sanctions that hurt civilians and undermine diplomacy.
• Demand accountability for Minab. Push the Department of Defense to release its full investigation into the school bombing.

It takes two minutes. Personalize your letter if you can. A line about why this matters to you carries more weight with staff than a form letter.
