Dear friend,

I just read Robert Borosage's article The Peril of Trump's Final Act: Would He Use a Tactical Nuclear Weapon in Iran? in the September 18 edition of The Nation, and found it to be chillingly a very possible--even likely--nighmarish scenario. I'm writing to ask you to join me in sounding the alarm, including by pressing our Congresspersons--as well as candidates running in the November 3 mid-term election--to speak out against this very real danger!

A critical bill that could reduce the danger above is the concise Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act, which says "No Federal funds may be obligated or expended to conduct a first-use nuclear strike unless such strike is conducted pursuant to a war declared by Congress that expressly authorizes such strike." This would be a powerful instrument to put common sense limits on the existential danger that a US President could unilaterally launch Armageddon. 

Nuclear Weapon experts say that once even one nuclear weapon is used, an escalatory action-reaction cycle could be started that would turn into a global nuclear holocaust. Please click below to email your Congresspersons to speak out, and to co-sponsor the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act! It only take a few minutes.

P.S. You can increase your impact if you call your Congresspersons via the Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121. Congresspersons assume that each call represents 100 of their constituents. Congressional offices don't cross check emails vs. phone calls.

Dear friend,  

Allegations of self-dealing, abandoning longstanding safeguards, and the threat of more nuclear weapons are just a few of the alarming concerns surrounding Donald Trump’s unprecedented 30-year nuclear agreement between his administration and the Saudi government.

While bipartisan opposition is already building, a 90-day clock ticks toward this deal automatically becoming law. That means we all must pressure Congress to act now. Tell your lawmakers to REJECT the U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal before the 90-day clock expires.

Trump and his allies frame this deal as a boon for nuclear energy, but any agreement that paves the way for a nuclear arms race anywhere in the world, especially in the unstable Middle East, is a bad idea. Nonproliferation — and, indeed, denuclearization — should be among the U.S. government’s top priorities; not incentivizing other governments to seek the tools to build nuclear weapons.

Congress has the power to stop this reckless deal — a deal Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been pushing for and one that would be negotiated by Trump’s family members and close allies, who stand to financially benefit while creating a more dangerous world. Together, we can press lawmakers to reject the agreement before it’s too late.

Under the Atomic Energy Act, Congress can block or modify this deal, allowing the Saudi government to develop the technology and materials capable of building a nuclear weapon — which could supercharge a global nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

With the clock ticking and less than 90 days to act, Members of Congress will be poring through the details of Trump’s proposed agreement as they return from recess. Let’s make sure that as they do, they know where their constituents stand.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s dangerous U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal before it’s too late.

Dear friend,

Recently, the President of National Peace Action attended a meeting with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), one of the most consistent opponents of Trump's War on Iran. Rumors of a likely supplemental war appropriations request from the Trump regime were circling Washington. The senator said he would be not just a no, but a “Hell No,” to any such request. 

Now Trump has requested $88 billion for more bombs and weapons for that war. I strongly urge you to contact your Members of Congress and tell them they need to represent the interests of the American people and be a “Hell No” too!  The only ones who benefit from this are the weaponmakers and hawks who have failed to learn the simple truth that you can’t build safety with bombs and bullets.

A vote for $88 billion more to fund Trump's war is a vote for endless war. Send a message to your lawmakers: "Hell No" to $88 billion more for Trump’s illegal war!

Last week, Congress, for the first time ever, passed a Concurrent War Powers Resolution. While there are debates about whether the measure has the force of law, it does not go to Trump’s desk for him to sign (or veto). U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he will pursue a legal strategy to see that it is enforced. 

Regardless, the successful vote puts political pressure on the Trump regime to hold to the shaky ceasefire deal with Iran, and to proceed to negotiate a longer term peace agreement. A revival of the war is absolutely unacceptable. 

You may have read that after getting chewed out by Trump, Senate Republicans forced another vote on a separate Iran War Powers Resolution, and narrowly defeated it. However, this does not negate the previous vote, held just a day before. 

Our calls, emails, and protest demonstrations representing public opposition to the deeply unpopular war have had a strong impact, and we need to recognize our power. Thanks so much to all of you who have demanded that your Congresspersons oppose this war! 

Click here or below to send a clear message to Congress that the anti-war majority does not want our taxpayer dollars used to fund the Iran War! Tell Congress to reject supplemental funding for Trump’s war on Iran!

Dear friend,

President Trump just sent Congress a request proposing a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget, representing a staggering 50% increase over the already enormous $1 trillion FY 2026 Pentagon budget. A $1.5 trillion budget would mark the first time the US has accounted for more than half of total global military spending. An increase of this magnitude is not a response to genuine security needs; it is a moral failure.

On top of that, he is expected to request $200 billion more for his disastrous, illegal, and immoral war with Iran. If these requests are approved, it will mean that a huge portion of the federal budget will be for the renamed Department of War and to lengthen the Iran War.

At a moment when millions of Americans are losing access to health care, food assistance, and other vital support, this is unacceptable. The United States already spends more on its military than the next nine countries combined, including China and Russia. A Pentagon budget increase of this magnitude is not a response to genuine security needs; it is a moral failure.

The Pentagon’s lack of financial accountability is dangerous for everyone. An institution that has never passed an independent audit should not receive more funding. To dramatically increase funding for an institution that has never passed an independent audit is not stewardship; it is recklessness. True security is built not on military dominance, but on the shared prosperity that comes from equitable access to housing, health care, clean air and water, food, and quality public education. As Congress returns to Washington from a two week holiday, take the action below!

Call on Congress to:

1. Reject the proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget and oppose any increase in Pentagon funding for FY 2027; as well as the proposed $200 billion for the Iran War.
2. Protect funding for essential human needs programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, housing assistance, education and other programs that support the health and dignity of millions of Americans.
3. Demand accountability from the Department of Defense, including a credible path toward passing a full financial audit before any further budget increases are considered.
4. Invest in alternatives to militarism such as foreign aid, diplomacy, peacebuilding, and nonviolent social movements to ensure true human national and global security.

Click here or below to send a message to your lawmakers: Fund real security by meeting the needs of people, not exorbitant military spending! It only takes a few minutes!
