This is the endpoint of military industrial complex power and a political class that is obsessed with war: An unhinged president with his finger on the button threatening to commit genocide against 93 million people.
We've been working with partners nationwide to oppose and take action against Trump’s unlawful war with Iran. Join us Tonight!
Tonight at 5:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM CT / 8:30 PM ET

With thousands killed and injured and over a million displaced, the new war on Lebanon is a growing catastrophe perpetrated by Israel with U.S. weaponry and support.
Two bills in Congress could put an end to this if passed. SIGN ON: rootsaction.org/congress-end...
No matter what lies he tells tonight, all President Trump has achieved is death and destruction against mostly civilian targets. His Iran 'War' will go down in history as a grotesque mistake.
🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT: Choose Your Fighter Rally 🚨
Thrilled to be join an incredible group of freedom fighters as we host a massive, anti war livestream/fundraiser for candidates across the left!
Hope you’ll tune in!
Democrats helped clear Trump’s path back to power by abandoning their base.
When the Party abandoned the working class, the working class abandoned the Party.
We need whistleblowers protected and rewarded. We need members of the press left free to exercise their First Amendment rights. We need the Constitutional right to defend oneself in court protected.
❗️The Espionage Act has been used and abused to punish whistleblowers, journalists, and publishers, prosecuting them as if they were traitorous enemies, but denying them the right to put forward the defense that they were exposing, rather than committing, a crime.
💙SUPPORT THIS BILL -- Email your representative and senators to pass the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act.

Tell Democrats in Congress to Insist That Schumer and Jeffries Step Aside: rootsaction.org/schumer-jeff...
The Democrats keep failing at being an opposition party.

In an appearance on “Meet the Press"... Jeffries declined to say whether he would oppose Trump's expected push for $50 billion in new funding for the unauthorized war on Iran.
It's "de facto support.”
Last week Bernie Sanders & Rep. Ro Khanna introduced the Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act to establish a 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires. This could transform the lives of millions.
Tell your reps to co-sponsor w/ a quick letter!

If you have a Democratic Representative or Senator, you can write them here: rootsaction.org/schumer-jeff...
Democratic leaders worked to a delay vote on Iran until after the war started
Schumer and Jeffries cannot be trusted to prevent wars, more threats of wars, or the transfer of another half trillion dollars a year into the war machine
Tell your Dem Reps: REPLACE them! rootsaction.org/schumer-jeff...
LAST CHANCE FOR IRAN WAR POWERS RESOLUTION
We need to make it clear that war with Iran is abhorrent
Call YOUR rep: (202) 224-3121
👇️ And use this form to contact your representatives and let them know that they must do EVERYTHING they can to oppose a war on Iran.

Last night, the U.S. tested an unarmed Minuteman III ICBM.
ICBMs are an immediate threat to public safety. Once launched, ICBMs cannot be recalled, almost guaranteeing a retaliatory strike. The risk of nuclear escalation is too high for the added risk that a test is misinterpreted as nuclear use.
The United States and Israel have launched a completely unprovoked, illegal, immoral and barbaric war on Iran.
Your representative and senators need to hear from you now!
TAKE ACTION: rootsaction.org/no-war-on-iran
The pressure is building on the DNC to release their 2024 election autopsy. #ReleaseTheReport
We did our own research and published our own report. We know why Harris lost:
They courted right wingers, avoided bold populist proposals, & wouldn't break from Biden on Gaza.

Now is the critical moment to stop war with Iran.

RSVP for the Action Hour tonight!
It's counter-productive to the goal of defeating Trumpism for the DNC to continue to suppress its autopsy. That autopsy should be made public, so Democrats can learn from past errors and win future elections.
While the DNC suppresses its autopsy and what it knows about how Kamala Harris’s support for genocide in Gaza pushed voters away, RootsAction has published an honest appraisal of the Democrats’ missteps:

RootsAction’s founders were active in exposing biased and racist media coverage of Jackson’s 1988 campaign, and we continue his struggle to remake the Democratic Party.
His own runs for president in 1984 and 1988 built a Rainbow coalition and were the first Democratic campaigns to advocate for justice for Palestinians.
RootsAction Mourns the Loss of a Giant.
Jesse Jackson was a lifelong leader in the effort to transform the Democratic Party into a vehicle for peace and justice, a struggle he waged at the 1972 Democratic convention where he was a force behind Sen. George McGovern’s antiwar candidacy.
Rest in power, Rev. Jesse Jackson. He reminded us to "keep hope alive" and never stop organizing for a more just world.

Did you know Gavin Newsom is even worse than you thought?

Trolling Trump does not make up for his undermining of progressive priorities, like when he vowed to kill a one-time 5% tax on billionaires... Despite 86% of Democrats agreeing the wealthy should pay more.
In case you missed Gloria Browne-Marshall discussing A PROTEST HISTORY OF THE US with @rootsaction.org Education Fund Book Club last night you can find the video here, starting at the 5 minute mark: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLVR...
The audience was quite enthusiastic!
