Tell Congress: No War on Iran — Demand a War Powers Vote

The Trump administration’s joint military strikes on Iran mark a dangerous and unconstitutional escalation toward full-scale war.

These attacks were launched without congressional authorization, without a new Authorization for Use of Military Force, and without public debate. Under Article I of the U.S. Constitution, the power to declare war belongs to Congress — not the President. No individual in the White House has the authority to unilaterally drag the United States into another catastrophic Middle East war.

This is a war of choice.

There has been no transparent justification for escalation, no evidence that diplomacy was exhausted, and no mandate from the American people. Instead, we are witnessing executive overreach that risks regional catastrophe, civilian casualties, economic instability, and long-term global consequences. We have seen this before. War does not bring democracy. It does not deliver human rights. It brings destruction and strengthens the very forces it claims to weaken.

The War Powers Resolution exists precisely for moments like this.

Congress must assert its constitutional authority and require the immediate cessation of unauthorized hostilities against Iran. If lawmakers fail to act, they normalize a precedent in which any future president can bypass the legislative branch and launch war at will. That is not democracy. That is not constitutional governance.

Human rights cannot be delivered by missiles. They are built through negotiation, accountability, and solidarity across borders.

We call for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations. And we call on Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution to halt these unauthorized hostilities.

Send a message today and demand that your Representatives and Senators uphold the Constitution, stop the escalation, and choose diplomacy over war.
