In the wake of recent escalations in the Middle East, far too many innocents are at risk from this mindless war – from Palestine to Lebanon to Iran and Israel. This is what a vacuum of American leadership and blind U.S. support of militarism has delivered – a spiraling conflict with mass devastation and rampant insecurity from the Mediterranean to the Arabian Sea.
We need our leaders not to resort to stale policies in this crisis, but instead to warn about the headlong plunge to wider war and urge diplomacy to halt the tit-for-tat cycle and move toward de-escalation and a ceasefire.
Call your Members of Congress and tell them #NoWarWithIran!
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Pick a time before 5pm ET/2 pm PT to call.
Step 2: Dial 844-ACT-NIAC or (844-228-6422) and ask to be connected with your local representative’s office.
Step 3: When you connect with the office, whether with a person or the voicemail, make sure to say your name, that you are a constituent, and your zip code.
Step 4: Here is a sample script you can use, but you are encouraged to share your reasons for why you oppose a war with Iran.
Script for calling senators who voted the RIGHT way:
Hi, my name is ____ [your name], and I live in ____ [your city/town]. I am a constituent who’s concerned that escalating tensions will drag the U.S. and Iran into a massive regional war. This would be devastating for the United States, the people of Iran and regional security as a whole. Can the Representative/Senator speak out against war with Iran and urge the Biden administration to urgently de-escalate this concerning situation?
