Dear Robert,



Markets, schools, and hospitals bombed. *Hundreds of civilians—including at
least 200 children—killed* so far in unlawful airstrikes. Repeated use of
internationally banned cluster bombs that have caused civilian casualties.
These are just some of the devastating consequences of the Saudi-led
coalition’s 18 month-long air campaign in Yemen.



Yet… despite extensive on-the-ground documentation by Human Rights Watch of
these violations, the US continues to fuel the conflict. After selling *over
$20 billion dollars in weapons* to Saudi Arabia in 2015, some in Washington
want to add another *$1.15 billion dollars in arms sales*.



A bipartisan group of US senators are taking action to *stop enabling Saudi
Arabia’s to commit more abuses in Yemen* <http://bit.ly/2cy3K6m>. They have
introduced legislation to slow this sale. Time is running out—the Senate
will vote on this resolution as early as Tuesday, September 20. *WE NEED
YOU *to tell your senators to support this critical resolution now.

Thank you for your support,



John Sifton
