BACKGROUND:
We are living under tyranny. There are concentration camps at the border while we teeter on the brink of war with Iran. All due to crisis of Trump’s making.
Trump created the policy of family separation and now children are living in concentration camps at the border – without access to basic necessities of human survival. Children are falling ill and soon more will die unnecessary deaths due to Trump and his GOP crimes against humanity. These are impeachable offenses and Congress must hold Trump accountable with an immediate impeachment inquiry.
Trump created the crisis with Iran when he pulled out from the Iran Nuclear Deal. Abandoning our commitments and our allies, Trump insisted on going it alone and imposing sanctions that have not brought Iran back to the negotiating table but have escalated the conflict to the point of near military action. Congress must stop Trump from unilaterally engaging us in war with Iran.
To combat this tyranny we must all take action. Call our MoCs and demand they:
- take action to stop the abuse at the border
- take action to prevent a war with Iran
- start an impeachment inquiry immediately
We deserve to live free from tyranny.
