Dear Claudia,
I’ve got some urgent news. Congressional negotiations for the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) have ended and FCNL has learned that the final bill completely fails to reassert Congress’s war authority and end endless wars.
Our top three priorities are being stripped out, meaning this NDAA won’t end U.S. support for the Saudi-UAE led war in Yemen; it won’t prevent an unauthorized war against Iran; and it won’t repeal the 2002 Iraq war authorization – even 8 years after the Iraq war ended. This is immoral and a complete abdication of Congressional responsibility.
Your voice is needed. Urge Rep. Mfume to vote no when the NDAA comes to the floor this week!

Approving an NDAA without these critical provisions would enable more endless war, damage U.S. national security, erode congressional war authority, and reject the will of the American people to promote peace. While this is indeed unfortunate news, this is not over yet.
Thank you for making this important call to Rep. Mfume and for standing up for peace. By working together, we can make a difference.
