The Trump regime has been amassing forces in the Caribbean as it threatens war against Venezuela.
Over the past few months, they’ve bombed small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that they claim were being used to traffic drugs to the US. In at least one of those strikes, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered troops to leave no survivors — so orders were given for a second strike, killing two shipwrecked civilians in an act that some experts say constitutes a war crime. Over 80 people have been killed in these actions so far.
And now, the regime has escalated tensions with Venezuela by seizing an oil tanker off its coast.
The regime has offered no legal justification for these actions, nor have they received Congressional authorization, even though the Constitution states clearly that war powers belong to Congress — not the White House.
Democrats in both the House and Senate have introduced War Powers Resolutions to block further military assaults on Venezuela.
Every Member of Congress must vote to check this regime’s lawless violence, or there’s no telling where this will end. Submit this form to automatically email your senators and representative.
The email to your members of Congress:
Dear Representative/Senator,
As a constituent, I’m writing to urge you to support the War Powers Resolutions that would halt the Trump administration’s unauthorized military operation against Venezuela. The White House has rapidly escalated their military pressure, carrying out lawless boat strikes, seizing an oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast, and stationing troops and aircraft carriers in the Caribbean.
All without authorization from Congress.
The Constitution gives you and your congressional colleagues the authority that Donald Trump is usurping. Your constituents do not want another endless war. We’re counting on you to check the Trump administration’s lawless attacks against Venezuela. Vote YES on the War Powers Resolutions.
