Iranian civilization is ancient and beautiful. We extend our solidarity to the Iranian people in this frightening and shameful moment. Congress must act now to stop President Trump from carrying out more catastrophic and immoral violence in our names.

Trump just threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. We cannot let war make us lose sight of our humanity. We cannot forget that Iranian children are children of God too. We cannot allow war crimes to be committed in our name. Congress must act now.

📣"Every American who loves their country must speak out. Enough is enough.” President Trump is threatening "a catastrophic and criminal assault on a country of more than 90 million people." Our members of Congress must reclaim their war powers by any means necessary to stop him. Action resource ⬇️

Pres. Trump's genocidal rhetoric is profoundly disturbing and must be forcefully condemned. Congress has a responsibility to pass War Powers Resolutions to stop this war and prevent atrocities. We are holding the Iranian people in the Light and praying for end to this immoral & senseless violence.

"We are spending our children's money to take the lives of other people's children." The Trump administration is seeking a record-shattering Pentagon budget of $1.5 trillion for the next fiscal year — a number that doesn't even include funding for war on Iran.

“Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Pope Leo XIV used his first Easter address to deliver a stark warning against growing indifference to violence around the globe. #WarIsNotTheAnswer

The American people do not want endless war.

In Milwaukee, ICE detained prominent Muslim community leader Salah Sarsour, a legal permanent resident. Lawyers & advocates for Sarsour say this is the latest example of the Trump admin. weaponizing immigration enforcement to suppress free speech and advocacy for Palestinian rights.

“This was a center of learning, not a military target." U.S. attacks against civilians and vital civilian infrastructure in Iran are horrifying and unacceptable. Congress must rein in President Trump and stop this immoral war now.

Persistence & resistance can prevail! It was not long ago that we gathered with hundreds in the freezing cold in Hagerstown to say no to an ICE mass detention warehouse in Washington County.  I salute all who pushed back, we must remain vigilant to stop this ICE warehouse. wjla.com/news/local/w...

Diverting more and more 💰️ to war doesn’t strengthen our security – it undermines it. Real security = investing “in the shared prosperity that comes from more housing, health care, climate and public health protections, ending hunger, and providing quality public education."

Enough is enough. President Trump wants to take even MORE money away from healthcare, education, climate, and housing programs to fund more disastrous war. This budget proposal is a "moral obscenity" that must be stopped.

"There are boarding school survivors and relatives that went to boarding schools that deserve the right to be able to offer their testimony in a commission." "Our elders are not getting any younger, and we need to pass this now for them, for their ancestors and for their descendants."

Federal lawmakers are pushing a bill to investigate Native American boarding schools in the U.S. The bill would establish a National Truth and Healing Commission to lead that investigation. www.hcn.org/articles/con... www.kosu.org/oklahoma-sup...

At a time when Americans are losing coverage by the millions, struggling with record high premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and navigating multi-state measles outbreaks, this budget is shockingly out of touch with what the American people want and need.

The United States is the wealthiest nation in the world. We CAN do all of this and more - for just a fraction of the money our gov. is spending on war. It's not about resources. It's about priorities.

New: More than 100 wide-ranging experts including FCNL's @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social signed a letter expressing "profound concerns" over the war on Iran, warning that U.S. strikes are violating and undermining international law.

NEW: At a time when so many are struggling to get by, the last thing our country needs is to divert even MORE of our tax $'s to war.   That's why we joined nearly 300 groups calling on Congress to reject Pres. Trump's $1.5 Trillion Pentagon budget request + to instead invest in urgent human needs. 👇

The 250th birthday of our country should be a time to celebrate the core freedoms for which generations of Americans have struggled. But tragically, the Trump admin.'s lawless immigration enforcement policies are threatening many of our fundamental rights. Congress must act to protect them.

In the face of unprecedented violence and abuses from immigration enforcement agencies, Congress has a responsibility to act. FCNL's Maria Mitri breaks down the key steps lawmakers must take to keep our communities safe + defend the rights and dignity of all. 👇 #LoveThyNeighbor

The ultimate questions looming over the birthright citizenship case at the Supreme Court are simple, @aclu.org lead counsel Cody Wofsy writes. "What does it mean to be an American? Will we adhere to the best of American history and protect the values of equal citizenship and opportunity?"

For over 150 years, birthright citizenship has been a fundamental right. Now, it’s under attack—and millions of families could be impacted. 🔗 Learn more and join the fight! https://defendbirthright.com/

The public deserves to have a say in whether our loved ones, friends, and neighbors are sent into war. The public deserves to have a say in whether our government drops bombs on other people abroad. Defending Congress's war powers isn't about paperwork. It's about democratic accountability.

The U.S. is at war - and not only in Iran. The Trump administration has quietly carried out a major surge in drone strikes in Somalia - with almost no media coverage. From the Middle East to Africa to Latin America and our own communities, Congress must rein in Trump's out-of-control militarism.

"Dad deported; daughter deployed:" How a family has been split by the Trump administration's policies:

"Right now, Iranian civilians are paying the highest price. But the collapse of the rule of law makes the future more dangerous for everyone else, too." In the wake of #NoKings, Phyllis Bennis highlights the overlapping threats posed by the Trump administration's authoritarianism and militarism. 👇

Quaker communities "are increasingly recognizing the spiritual gifts of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people." Taking steps to welcome Friends across the gender spectrum "are not political acts," but "spiritual ones," and "expressions of integrity in Quaker community." #TransDayofVisibility

"There is no justification for Congress to prioritize funding an unnecessary war while failing to invest in urgent domestic needs—like preventing millions of people from losing access to health care and food assistance." FAQ resource: Why Congress must block funding for war on Iran 👇

The U.S. is at war - and not only in Iran. The Trump administration has quietly carried out a major surge in drone strikes in Somalia - with almost no media coverage. From the Middle East to Africa to Latin America and our own communities, Congress must rein in Trump's out-of-control militarism.

📣“Congressional authorization isn’t just a box-checking exercise:" "It’s a means of ensuring that the solemn decision to go to war is made democratically and accountably" -- not at the whims of one person.

On Wednesday, our legal team will be at the Supreme Court defending the American tradition of birthright citizenship against President Trump's attacks. We're prepared to fight for babies born in the U.S.A. and the families who love them.

Deeply moved and honored that genocide survivor, refugee advocate, and peace leader Yasin Arfat is part of the @quakerlobby.bsky.social community as a Diaspora Organizer. Thank you for this powerful witness. www.fcnl.org/updates/2026...

👏 Inspiring solidarity! "Choctaw Nation Buys Former Big Lots Warehouse, Closing Off Oklahoma ICE Detention Site."

🚨 "Cuban Patients Are Dying Because of U.S. Blockade, Doctors Say." This blockade is profoundly immoral and must stop.

From the Middle East to Latin America to the streets of our own communities, Congress must rein in President Trump's unprecedented, out-of-control militarism. 👇

As negotiations over DHS funding drag out in Congress, our message remains the same: Not another penny for ICE's lawless terrorization of our communities!

“Trump has started illegal regime change conflicts in Venezuela and Iran and is now threatening Cuba." 📣"These military attacks put our troops in danger, endanger innocent civilians, waste billions of taxpayer dollars, and are not what the American people want." Thank you @jayapal.house.gov!

ICE's terrorization of our communities is a grave threat to many of the most fundamental freedoms our nation was founded on. As @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social writes, "How can we honor the 250th birthday of our country while our families and communities live in fear?"

New: The U.S. military carried out yet another air strike on a civilian boat yesterday in the Caribbean, killing four people. Using military force to execute people who were merely accused of a crime is a legal and moral outrage. We must not allow it to be normalized.

For refugees like Yasin Arfat, the United States provided not only safety, but the opportunity to build a new life. But after being welcomed into our country, refugees are now cruelly being threatened with arrest by the Trump administration. More: www.fcnl.org/updates/2026...

"The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm." From the Middle East to Latin America, the Trump administration's military strikes are causing needless and devastating civilian harm. Congress must rein in this reckless militarism and demand accountability.

📣 "This is the last thing the country needs." There are so many things Congress could be funding that would help ordinary people struggling to get by: Healthcare, housing, education, and so much more. An immoral, destructive, and costly new forever war is not one of them.

"We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people — defenseless victims of these conflicts." "What wounds them wounds all of humanity."

250 years after our nation's founding, many of our rights are under attack, particularly for immigrant communities. As @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social writes, Congress must "rein in excessive violence and indiscriminate enforcement, protect civil liberties and reprioritize safety in our communities."

"At a time when authoritarianism thrives on division, the solidarity between Arab and Jewish communities rooted in justice and human dignity is a powerful response to fear and hate." 👏
