19 years ago the United States invaded Iraq, sending 2,000-pound bombs and nearly 40 Tomahawk cruise missiles loaded with thousands of pounds of explosives into Baghdad.
Upwards of 200,000 Iraqi people were ultimately killed as a direct result of the war that followed.
We remember the protests against that war, and many of us marched in them ourselves — outraged that a powerful nation would ignore international law, abandon diplomacy, and choose to use overwhelming military force with devastating consequences. But did you know that the law that allowed for that disastrous invasion of Iraq — the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) — is still on the books, and open to misuse, today?
But right now, people across the globe, and here in the United States, are deeply aware of the enormous cost of war. It means we have a critical moment to build power and push Congress to repeal the 2002 AUMF — and we need your help to get to the finish line.
