Good afternoon, all. We have some good news on the war powers front!

Reps. Jayapal, DeFazio, Schiff, and Mace introduced
<https://progressives.house.gov/press-releases?ID=287750BA-778B-4C04-8DBE-BC6AF439EDB1>
the Yemen War Powers Resolution (H.J.Res.87
<https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-joint-resolution/87>)
with 48 co-sponsors. Senator Sanders also announced he will be doing the
same on the Senate side.

We’ve released a 100+ group letter in support of the resolution, which
urges Congress to end U.S. complicity in the Saudi-UAE war on Yemen. Many
on this list have signed on -- thank you!
