TAKE ACTION: Senate will vote to repeal the 2002 Iraq war authorization TOMORROW

we can't miss this opportunity to act

As salaamu alaykum, Indiana —

This is super time-sensitive, so I'm just going to cut to the chase.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the disastrous U.S. Invasion of Iraq.

The Senate is expected to vote as early as tomorrow — Tuesday, March 21st — on whether or not to repeal the 2002 Iraq Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), a critical government justification for decades of invasion and militarism, as well as a recent assassination.

Can you take a second now to email your Senators to ask they support repealing the 2002 Iraq AUMF tomorrow?

We're at a critical moment to finally repeal the AUMF — there's a large bipartisan effort on Capitol Hill poised to make this happen.

President Biden has indicated support for a bipartisan bill from Senator Tim Kaine (S.316), that would repeal both the 2002 and 1991 Authorizations for Use of Military Force against Iraq.

A vote on the final bill is expected to happen as early as tomorrow.

We just need the Senate to act.

The U.S. Invasion of Iraq was a historic and shameful tragedy. Today, on the 20th anniversary of its outset, we have a unique opportunity to stop it, and travesties like it, from happening again.

Take action: Urge the Senate RIGHT NOW to repeal the 2002 AUMF.

This week's vote would be the first-ever floor vote on repealing the Iraq War authorization in the Senate. 

We have the votes to finally repeal these outdated war authorities that have been used not just to make possible the Iraq War that began 20 years ago today, but literal decades of militarism, human rights violations, and endless wars.

Thanks to the collective organizing of our movements over the past 20 years, we can finally win this for good. Let's not squander that opportunity.

With just one click, email your Senators and demand an end to endless wars now.

Thank you for all you do.
