For nearly a decade, the U.S. has supported a Saudi-led war in Yemen that has killed nearly 400,000 people, including more than 10,000 children—becoming what the UN has called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” American military support is fueling violence and a worsening food crisis in Yemen, and it’s time for this to stop!![]()

Our friends at Action Corps have been advocating for a War Powers Resolution that would end U.S. military participation in the Saudi attacks on Yemen, cutting off US logistical support such as intelligence sharing and equipment maintenance. It would also end the aerial blockades that have created a crisis of starvation for millions of civilians in Yemen.![]()
