💥TOOLKIT NOW AVAILABLE: Build the U.S. anti-war movement! 🔗ANSWERCoalition.org/Iran Every major war the U.S. has been forced to end was stopped not by the conscience of politicians, but by sustained pressure from ordinary people who refused to accept the killing done in their name. That same pressure must be built now — in our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and our schools — to expose the war on Iran that Trump wages in our name for what it is: an illegal act of aggression to enrich oil executives and weapons manufacturers while everyday people in the U.S. and across the Middle East pay the price. Our new and dynamic public outreach toolkit provides critical resources to talk to friends, family and community members about what's really at stake. Find downloadable posters, social media graphics, educational materials and more. It’s time to build a massive anti-war movement in the U.S. ➡️ ANSWERCoalition.org/Iran

We demand that Congress reject the Trump administration’s request for a massive funding package to pay for its illegal war against Iran.  We do not want another cent of our tax money to go towards sustaining this aggression – Congress needs to use its power over the budget to cut off the war machine!

📍New York City

Homelessness in the U.S. reached a record high of ~800,000 in 2024 — an 18% increase from the year prior. Families and children make up ~40% of the homeless. The administration could END homelessness with ~$9.6B. Instead, just this past week, the Pentagon has chosen to throw away more than $11.3B in our public funds to wage a war on Iran that does not have popular support. The people of the U.S. demand money for our needs — not the U.S. war machine!

As the Black Panther Party taught us, Trump’s war on Iran is yet another rich man's war. The government that bombed and killed 165+ children last week is the same government that has stripped funding for our schools and hospitals. In the legacy of the Panthers, we will continue to organize and expand our anti-war movement!

Trump says after Iran, the next target will be Cuba. But the country is already enduring a genocidal, criminal blockade. As this administration rampages through the world, waging war, dropping bombs on children, and imposing deadly sanctions, the US anti-war movement has a responsibility to stand for peace with our neighbor and say: Let Cuba Live! We were proud to join the @peoplesassembl_ delegation in Havana to hear directly from the Cuban President about the acute situation facing the country. While Trump insists on regime change, gunboat diplomacy and the Monroe Doctrine, Cuba’s President called for peace and normalized relations based on mutual respect in accordance with international law, and vowed to defend the country from any foreign military intervention.

‼️🇵🇸 TONIGHT AT 6:30PM! EMERGENCY SHUT IT DOWN FOR PALESTINE MEETING 🗓️Tonight • Monday, March 9th 🕡6:30 PM (IFTAR PROVIDED) 📍The People's Forum - 320 W 37th St, NYC Over the past week, the United States and Israel have carried out attacks in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine. This attempt of igniting a regional war has led to the martyrdom of hundreds of civilians, and Israel has again violently blocked any aid from entering Gaza Strip. Due to the emergency nature of the meeting, we will be sharing space with the ICE Out of NY coalition for a joint political grounding before discussing our specific tasks for the coming weeks. For those observing Ramadan, iftar will be provided.

Children and minors make up around 30% of those killed so far in U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, according to Iran’s Ministry of Health in a statement released Sunday. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani also stated on Friday, "So far 3,090 residential units, 528 commercial units, and 13 medical facilities (nine of which belonged to the Red Crescent) have been hit, and we have witnessed human casualties in healthcare centers.” Israeli airstrikes on Tehran’s oil depots and petroleum logistics infrastructure over the weekend filled the city of 10 million people with toxic smoke, prompting authorities to warn Sunday of dangerous acid rain. Residents have reported shortness of breath and burning in the eyes and throat, while health officials caution exposure to the chemical gasses and fine particulates can worsen lung and heart conditions and increase the risk of cancer. 📸The last photo of Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, a third-grader killed in the Feb. 28 U.S.-Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab, Iran.

I landed in Havana today. Trump’s fuel blockade is choking the life out of this city. Havana is near silent, empty streets, empty markets. Not because there’s no food, but because farmers can’t get fuel to deliver it. Trump is trying to starve 11 million people into submission. This is a crime against humanity, unfolding in plain sight. Night falls and the city struggles to keep lights on, in total defiance after 66 years of economic war. The world must stop looking away. Let Cuba live!

We’re in the final stretch: so far over 3,000 people have donated over $480,000 to send solar generators and panels to Cuba hospitals. This massive effort of solidarity will help to keep critical and lifesaving care operational as the Trump administration attempts to cause massive destruction in the country with their oil blockade. This is your last chance to join this historic effort: donate now to help us reach our goal of $500,000! In the last few days, the U.S. blockade on Cuba has caused mass blackouts across the country. The people of the U.S. say enough is enough: we don’t want to starve our neighbors of the resources necessary to sustain life. LET CUBA LIVE! Donate now at letcubalive.info/donate
