National Action Hour to Defund the War on Monday, November 9, from 12:30 to 1:30 PM ET
Join this Action Hour Zoom Event HERE
Peace Action Maine is part of a coalition that makes four demands:
1.Block the Funds. (STOP FUNDS)
2.Enforce the War Powers Resolution. (END IRAN WAR)
3.Investigate War Crimes.
4.Support a peace deal to end the war.
Write your senators and representative now. This is the moment to be heard.
As you may have read, the Trump administration has already been preparing an imminent, post-election escalation of the war with Iran.
Congress reconvenes in just a few days on November 9th — write your members of Congress today — urge them to use every tool they have to stop this war and strip Iran war funding from any bill that reaches the floor. Then take a breath and celebrate.
Seven in ten Americans just told the Associated Press they want Congress to end this war. That number needs to become pressure — today, in every office on the Hill.
You may have seen the stories over recent weeks, running alongside the constant election coverage. Pentagon war plans have been briefed to members of Congress and partially leaked to the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and the New York Times. The planned strikes on civilian infrastructure — power plants, refineries, water systems — would constitute a war crime under international humanitarian law. The U.N. Secretary-General has warned that attacks on energy infrastructure in this conflict “might constitute a war crime.”
Take action: Whether or not you can join live during the call, please call or write so Congress is flooded with our demand all day Monday:

Congress can end the war on Iran by denying funding now!
We're joining the National Iranian American Council and 30+ organizations for a National Call-In Hour to DEFUND THE IRAN WAR on Monday November 9 at 12:30PM.
Together, we’ll flood congressional offices with calls demanding lawmakers use their power of the purse to oppose any funding bill that doesn’t explicitly prohibit funding for the Iran war.
