The Saudi Coalition, backed by the U.S, has committed a multitude of war crimes in Yemen killing thousands of innocent civilians. The Senate and House are taking action by putting forth legislation to stop the current $1.15 billion US weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. There must be consequences for the atrocities committed by Saudi Arabia. The US must not continue to participate by providing more weapons to the Saudi government.
There is an extremely important vote in the Senate this afternoon to block the current $1.15 billion weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. Call your Senators NOW at (202) 224-3121 to tell them that you support SJ Resolution 39 blocking this sale.

Based on what we’ve learned from our allies who have been working tirelessly to support and move legislation in Congress, we believe that a vote could reach the Senate floor as early as tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon.
