"This is exactly why the framers and founders of our government said we don't want to have a monarch that can just unilaterally decide that America needs to be involved in these foreign conflicts."
📣 Congress needs to stop this disastrous + immoral war now.

As a Quaker organization, our opposition to war on Iran is grounded in a long tradition of letting our lives and actions speak for peace.
We will never give up working toward the vision of “a world free of war and the threat of war.”
These continued boat strikes are extrajudicial executions - prohibited by U.S. and international law
When Diane Randall, then general secretary of @fcnl.bsky.social, spoke with QuakerSpeak in 2014, the U.S. government's propensity to seek out military solutions to international crises, was a key topic. "Conflict is inevitable," as Diane said, "but violent conflict, we believe, is not inevitable."
“The overwhelming majority of Americans do not want genocide and endless war."
"Iranian people, the Palestinian people, and all people...should be in control of their own futures."
“It will take a mass anti-war movement to stop this — the time to act is now.”

Join us for an interfaith vigil for Middle East peace with The Episcopal Church as we hold those suffering violence in the Light. @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social will be joining as well as we pray for peace buff.ly/c6Otn2O
As President Eisenhower said in his famous "Chance for Peace" speech, "this world in arms is not spending money alone."
Congress must invest our resources in addressing the needs our communities, not more endless war.
“Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.” – MLK
As the death toll climbs higher each day, we must remember:
Those being killed are not statistics. They are real people who had loved ones. Who had hopes and dreams.
Our leaders have a moral duty to stop this killing.
“As a Quaker organization, we know that war is never the path to peace."
"We mourn every life lost. We hold the victims’ loved ones and communities in the Light as we call for an immediate end to this war.”

Congress failed to call a stop to Trump's illegal and immoral war on Iran.
The war remains unconstitional and unauthorized, illegal under international law and deeply immoral.
We aren't going to stop proclaiming that war is not the answer.

The news cycle may have forgotten already, but we haven’t.👇
Reports of lawless ICE abuses continue to come to light each day.
We have to rein in ICE -- and Congress needs to enact serious accountability and oversight.
We are deeply disappointed that the Senate failed to pass a War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump’s illegal and immoral war on Iran.
But we must clear: This vote does NOT equal an affirmative authorization for war. (More ⬇️)
Must watch 👇
This “is a profoundly moral vote. It is a vote to direct our resources towards healing our own people - towards healthcare that saves lives, jobs that restore dignity, housing that shelters families - instead of raining destruction on other nations."
@khanna.house.gov 👏
This war remains unconstitutional.
It is illegal under international law.
It is deeply immoral and reckless.
It must stop immediately.

“In our democracy, the president does not have the kingly power to plunge the nation into war without democratic debate and sanction.”
🚨 President Trump is trying to drag the U.S. into a major war against the will of the public and without authorization from Congress.
Our representatives must stand up against this authoritarian abuse of power and stop to this reckless, immoral war.

War is not the answer! Congress must act to end this illegal and immoral war.
The House plans to take up this measure as soon as tomorrow - they have an opportunity to do the right thing.
'El-Tayyab said the pending vote has already increased pressure on the administration to provide more information to Congress, pointing to a handful of Republicans who have expressed scepticism. “This proves that the debate is not abstract politics,” El-Tayyab said.'
FCNL's @hassaneltayyab.bsky.social:
“Votes and debates on the Iran War Powers Resolution are essential because they force accountability."
"By taking the measure up, members of Congress put themselves on record, shine a light on the administration’s actions, and compel necessary concessions."
The Constitution makes it clear that only Congress can declare war, but President Trump seems to think that doesn't apply to him.
Tell Congress to stop his unconstitutional war with Iran before more people are killed.
The Senate is voting later TODAY on a crucial resolution to stop this war.
There’s still time to make your voice heard! 👇
