Support the bipartisan resolution to withdraw unauthorized US forces from Saudi-led civil war in Yemen

Support the bipartisan resolution to withdraw unauthorized US forces from Saudi-led civil war in Yemen

Saudi Arabia's war and blockade has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine and caused the worst cholera outbreak on record, with a million malnourished children at risk from cholera. Every 10 minutes a child in Yemen dies of preventable causes like malnutrition and diarrhea. When UNICEF's director was asked how to end Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe, he simply said: "Stop the war."

Your Representatives in Congress can provide crucial leadership to help end Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe. Tell them to vote yes on H. Con. Res. 81, the bipartisan resolution calling for an end to the unauthorized U.S. participation in this war. A vote on ending U.S. participation in Saudi Arabia's famine-producing war will go to the floor.
