No War on Iran!
Call BOTH of your Senators.
Call ONE of the Representatives. Note: only one of these Congressmembers represents you. Find out which one here.
Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
I am calling to demand immediate action in response to President Trump’s unauthorized military strikes on Iran. Congress holds the power to declare war, not the president.
Thank you for supporting a War Powers resolution in Congress. You have both the authority and the responsibility to act. I urge you to:
Publicly call for an immediate halt to further military action.
Work to advance a War Powers Resolution to require congressional approval for continued hostilities.
Oppose any funding for unauthorized military escalation.
Demand full transparency and accountability from the administration.
Background
President Donald Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress.
This reckless escalation is putting U.S. service members, Americans, and Iranian civilians in danger, all to advance a unilateral regime-change agenda that the American people never asked for and do not support.
We neither support nor condone the Iranian theocratic regime which oppresses its own people – particularly women – and fosters regional terrorism and religious fundamentalism, but the American public do not want another endless war in the Middle East. Congress has a constitutional obligation to assert its war powers immediately and block any further military action. The Constitution is clear: Congress, NOT the president, holds the power to declare war and to approve or disapprove sustained military engagement.
That authority is a duty.
Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox. From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, to holding this administration accountable and putting an immediate stop to this war. We need to let Congress know we won’t accept anything less.
