Tell Congress: Hold an Irresponsible Executive Engaged In War Crimes TO ACCOUNT !
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.
A sitting president calling for war crimes and endangering the lives of our armed forces is not fit to be commander in chief. I am calling to ask that you:
Publicly and forcefully call for impeachment and removal of president Trump and secretary Hegseth who are engaged in war crimes.
Work to reconvene the US House and Senate into session to pursue articles of impeachment for war crimes.
Block any funding of the war with Iran
Use War Powers Resolution to force votes to end the war with Iran
Hold the administration accountable for crimes and corruption by holding congressional hearings.
Publicly state your support for military personnel who – in obedience to their Oath of Allegiance, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and the Law of War Manual – refuse to carry out illegal orders or commit war crimes.
Background
Over the course of several days, Trump has made repeated, unequivocal threats to commit war crimes—the deliberate obliteration of civilian infrastructure, including power plants—and escalating to civilizational destruction. In other words, genocide. (Indeed, strikes on impermissible civilian targets might already have gotten underway on Monday, April 6, with the bombing of universities and residential neighborhoods.) A country of more than 90 million people—with civilians defiantly gathering on bridges and surrounding power plants—is on the brink of annihilation.
The US is party to “a series of agreements, including the Geneva Conventions, the Hague Conventions, the Nuremberg Principles and the United Nations Charter” that prohibit intentional attacks on civilians, so Trump’s explicit threats violate not only international law but, under the Supremacy Clause, US law.
Congress must do its job. Options include aggressive oversight (e.g., putting Hegseth or top military brass under oath to explain this monstrous plan), censure, and yes, impeachment. And, obviously, the Trump regime’s request for money to continue the war should be emphatically rejected.
