LA is joining the World Says No To War On Yemen Global Day of Action! Our CODEPINK team in Los Angeles will be leading a car caravan around the consulate of Saudi Arabia! Make sure to cover your car in #YemenCantWait and pink and be ready to honk those horns. We will circle the Saudi consulate and make our demands to the new Biden Administration clear:
- the US must end support for the Saudi-UAE led coalition that is starving and bombing Yemen immediately
- The US must stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE
- USAID must restore all aid that was cut off to Yemen at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic
Invite your friends and family to join the caravan because #YemenCantWait.
