Tell Congress, No War With Iran! No Regime Change or Air Strikes!
President Trump’s unauthorized attack on Iran and the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is another dangerous action
President Trump has once again moved with speed toward violent regime change, now in Iran, without proper authorization from Congress. This is immoral and unlawful.
Following the United States and Israeli air strikes against Iran, we say no to war with Iran. Stop the strikes! The U.S. must prioritize de-escalation and diplomacy. Only Congress has the power to authorize the use of military forces under Article I of the Constitution.
Few in the world approve of Iran's party in power, its functional Theocracy. As proponents of religious pluralism and democratic process, we reject state coercion, especially in religious and spiritual matters. And we recognize the relief many Iranians, especially in the diaspora, have expressed at the end of the Supreme Leader's reign. Yet, no U.S. president has the authority to use military force against another nation without the approval of Congress. Congress must reassert its war powers. It did so in 2020 on a bipartisan basis following similar strikes that killed Iranian military officers.
Urge your Senators and Representative in the House to stop the war and consider the Iran War Powers Resolution (S.J.Res.104 & H.Con. Res. 38).
The people of the U.S. do not want endless war and have been rejecting the President's domestic agenda. Now they are concerned about the ever-changing basis and rationale for this military action, as well as the lack of Congressional approval. This is as much about distraction as it is about executive overreach. We want diplomacy, not violence and unlawful executive activity, or presidential unilateralism.
Unitarian Universalists have long opposed any intervention into Iran by the U.S. military. Our faith tradition upholds humanitarian goals of protecting innocent life and global human rights, and has done so again in response to this action and the renewed conflict. See the UUA statement and the UUSJ statement.
Email Congress in advance of expected votes.
