EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE SAUDI-LED COALTION'S BOMBING OF YEMAN
Saturday, March 25 will mark the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the Saudi-led coalition's bombing of Yemen. To mark the occasion, a coalition of U.S. and international groups will hold an online rally to inspire and enhance education and activism to end the war in Yemen at 12p.m./Noon Eastern Time, Saturday, March 25. Two years ago, over 10,000 people viewed a similar online rally. Please help us spread the word so we can top that this year!
I invite you to join our coalition of U.S. and international groups including Peace Action, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, Action Corps, Friends Committee on National Legislation, Stop the War UK, World Beyond War, Fellowship of Reconciliation, Roots Action, United for Peace & Justice, Code Pink, Michigan Peace Council, and more for an online rally to inspire and enhance education and activism to end the war in Yemen.
Confirmed speakers include:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi , Aisha Jumaan, and more.
Other invited speakers:
Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Mark Pocan, Angelina Jolie, Prof. Cornel West, Member of British Parliament Jeremy Corbyn, Representatives from Stop the War UK and the Committee Against the Arms Trade, and others.
As we continue to push for a complete end to US support for the Saudi-led war, the next weeks and months will be critical. With the U.S. Congress potentially poised to vote on a War Powers Resolution, should current negotiations between U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and the Biden Administration not yield a successful outcome, our advocacy and activism is extremely timely. And while we have not completely succeeded as of yet, we are helping save lives in Yemen. Every day the Saudi-led coalition refrains from resuming bombing, Yemeni lives are saved. But with a blockade in place severely limiting the ability of the Yemeni people to rebuild their lives and the country's economy, we cannot let up.
Please plan to join us on March 25, and feel free to send this notice to anyone you think would be interested. Yemen can't Wait.
I hope you can join us!
