The No Kings Map is Live!
Hundreds of nonviolent protests are already planned for No Kings Day on March 28, and more are being added by the hour.
Washington, D.C. — Today, Leah Greenberg, Indivisible’s Co-executive Director, released the following statement on Trump’s attack on Iran:
“Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.
“The Iranian people are already suffering under a repressive regime that jails and murders dissidents. These airstrikes will not deliver freedom. They will only put innocent families in the crossfire so Trump can pretend to be a wartime king on TV. We saw this happen last June when Trump and Netanyahu launched military strikes on Iran. It did nothing to curb the regime’s brutality. It only fueled further crackdowns on the Iranian people and put U.S. servicemembers at greater risk.
“A wider conflict risks retaliation against Americans, allies, and innocent Iranians, and drags America into another open-ended war without the consent of Congress or the American people.
“The Constitution is clear. The power to declare war belongs to Congress. Trump does not get to start a war by decree. Congress must act immediately to block this unauthorized escalation. No endless wars.”
