PRES BIDEN lied in his campaign when he said he would treat saudi arabia as the terrorist pariah they are. His trip to saudi arabia, his kissing saudi ass was a disgusting display of weakness and cowardness. The saudis and the emiritis are not our friends, are not our allies, can not be trusted, can not be depended on. Please sign the petition from Demand Progress telling congress to end all American support for the saudi war in Yemen. You can also e mail the White House , your senators and your representative and demand they co-sponsor and vote for a War Powers resolution to end ALL American military aid for the saudi war in Yemen.
President Biden approved $5.2 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE earlier this month.1 Throwing deadly weapons at these nations will almost certainly perpetuate the Saudi-led war in Yemen — a conflict President Biden announced he would no longer support over a year ago.2
By backing Saudi-led troops in Yemen with weapons, money, and intel, the United States is actively perpetuating one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. It’s morally indefensible, and Congress must act to withdraw US support now.
President Biden must deliver on his campaign promise to end unauthorized US support for the war in Yemen. Right now, the war is on pause for the first time in 6 years, giving millions of Yemenis on the brink of starvation a chance at survival. But it’s set to resume October 2.3
The US must end its support for the Saudis before that date. Such a move could be decisive in finally bringing this war to an end.
Congressional action can’t wait. The situation in Yemen is incredibly dire: over two million children under the age of five are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition in 2022 and could die without urgent treatment.4
In May, Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Peter DeFazio introduced the Yemen War Powers Resolution, which would finally end unauthorized US support for the war. Pressure is mounting: more than one hundred advocacy groups are calling on Congress to pass the resolution.5
Congress needs to hear from you, too: we condemn US support for these atrocities!
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution to help end the war in Yemen!
Thanks for taking action,
Izzi and the team at Demand Progress
