Let’s close the door on endless war
For too many, our forever wars are faraway stories. But for communities in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, and Somalia, and not to mention servicemembers and their families in the United States, our post-9/11 wars are an ongoing nightmare where a loved one can be taken away at the drop of a hat.
This violent reality is abhorrent to anti-war activists like us, and it’s time for a crucial change. Here’s the thing: Just TWO laws underpin our post-9/11 wars: the 2001 and 2002 authorizations for the use of military force (AUMF). President after president has used and abused them, but the good news is that we’re on the verge of ripping up the second and setting the scene to tear down the first.
THIS is when we leave it all on the table: raise the alarm in the media, make non-stop phone calls to our allies in Congress, mobilize grassroots activists to get even louder, and more. Sending a 2002 AUMF repeal to the president’s desk this year IS possible — but only if we seize the moment — and we need you with us to get to the finish line. Can we count on you to help sustain this fight?
