Tell Congress "Hell No" to Trump's Request for $88 billion more for Iran War!

E-Alert sent 6/29/2026

Dear friend,

Recently, the President of National Peace Action attended a meeting with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), one of the most consistent opponents of Trump's War on Iran. Rumors of a likely supplemental war appropriations request from the Trump regime were circling Washington. The senator said he would be not just a no, but a “Hell No,” to any such request. 

Now Trump has requested $88 billion for more bombs and weapons for that war. I strongly urge you to contact your Members of Congress and tell them they need to represent the interests of the American people and be a “Hell No” too!  The only ones who benefit from this are the weaponmakers and hawks who have failed to learn the simple truth that you can’t build safety with bombs and bullets.

A vote for $88 billion more to fund Trump's war is a vote for endless war. Send a message to your lawmakers: "Hell No" to $88 billion more for Trump’s illegal war!

Last week, Congress, for the first time ever, passed a Concurrent War Powers Resolution. While there are debates about whether the measure has the force of law, it does not go to Trump’s desk for him to sign (or veto). U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he will pursue a legal strategy to see that it is enforced. 

Regardless, the successful vote puts political pressure on the Trump regime to hold to the shaky ceasefire deal with Iran, and to proceed to negotiate a longer term peace agreement. A revival of the war is absolutely unacceptable. 

You may have read that after getting chewed out by Trump, Senate Republicans forced another vote on a separate Iran War Powers Resolution, and narrowly defeated it. However, this does not negate the previous vote, held just a day before. 

Our calls, emails, and protest demonstrations representing public opposition to the deeply unpopular war have had a strong impact, and we need to recognize our power. Thanks so much to all of you who have demanded that your Congresspersons oppose this war!
