As part of a nationwide day of protests, backed by dozens of U.S. antiwar, youth, women\u2019s, religious, libertarian, progressive, and other groups, activists in over 10 cities around the country are gathering in protest of U.S. complicity in the Yemen war. They called on the lawmaker to introduce, or publicly call for, a Yemen War Powers Resolution to end unconstitutional U.S. participation in the ongoing Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen. March 26th marks the eighth anniversary of the Saudi-U.S.bombing and blockade of Yemen.<\/p>\n
Since March 2015, the Saudi\/UAE-led bombing and blockade of Yemen have killed tens of thousands of people and wreaked havoc on the country. 17 million people in Yemen<\/a> are food insecure, and 500,000 children<\/a> are on the verge of starving to death. This humanitarian crisis has worsened since President Biden took office. Despite his February 2021 commitment to end participation in Saudi offensive operations in Yemen, the U.S. continues to enable the Saudis by servicing their fighter jets and providing military and diplomatic support for the Saudi\/UAE-led coalition. Congress can end this war, and we are rallying to demand they do so.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the people of the United States to stand with the Yemeni people. The UN estimates that 17 million Yemenis are headed for starvation because of the war in Yemen. For too long, the U.S. government has offered weapons and logistical support that allows the Saudi-led coalition to conduct the war. Without that support, the bombings would end. Sadly, our country is a major player in this tragedy, and we are here to call for an end to U.S. complicity in and support for this war. This war has gone on for eight years. Hundreds of thousands have lost their lives. It is long past time to end U.S. support for the war on Yemen, and Congress must act.<\/p>\n Cities protesting<\/a>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n California<\/b><\/p>\n Related event:<\/p>\n March 4th, 2023<\/p>\n San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley<\/p>\n More information to come<\/p>\n Contact email: neda@actioncorps.org<\/a><\/p>\n Maryland<\/b><\/p>\n Reps.
