Veterans For Peace ACTION ALERT

Dear Friend of VFP, 150 veterans and military members occupy the capital rotunda to demand Congress end the war on Iran.

For nearly two months, the Trump administration has driven an illegal, catastrophic war on Iran which has murdered thousands of Iranians, destroyed critical civilian infrastructure, and threatened total annihilation of Iran’s civilization. They have sent thousands of our brothers, sisters, and family members to fight and die for the sake of American domination of Iran and the region. It is time for congress to end this war. The cost is too high.

The billions of dollars being spent on this war could be spent on healthcare and housing. It could be used to keep veterans and civilians off the streets. It could ensure that our children have the best possible education. Instead, Trump, Hegseth, Rubio and this neocon administration use our tax dollars to destroy lives across the globe. Americans do not benefit from this war, and Americans do not support this war. If our administration won’t do anything about it, Veterans For Peace, Military Families Speak Out and About Face veterans will.
