Our full statement:

No War With Iran

We strongly condemn the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. We mourn the lives already lost as a result of these unlawful and reckless attacks – including at least 40 school children killed in Minab.

We hold in the Light all those who now fear what comes next and call for an immediate end to strikes.

Regardless of what President Trump said last night, our union is in a state of crisis.

In this moment, people of faith and conscience must act with greater courage to defend our rights, our democracy, and our neighbors. ⬇️

Trump Leans on Congress to Address His False Claims of Voter Fraud

Last night, President Trump once again lied about election fraud to push for legislation that would block millions of citizens from voting.

Congress must stand firm against Pres. Trump's lies and authoritarianism -- and we must continue the long struggle for a truly just and inclusive democracy.

How faith leaders can help prevent war with Iran Faith leaders need to speak out against a disastrous war with Iran and for the restoration of Congress’ proper role in making war.

Iran. Venezuela. Cuba. Greenland...

President Trump's rapidly-changing, whiplash-inducing threats of war are enough to make your head spin.

As @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social writes, Congress can and must take proactive action to reclaim its war powers and rein in Trump's reckless militarism.

How faith leaders can help prevent war with Iran Faith leaders need to speak out against a disastrous war with Iran and for the restoration of Congress’ proper role in making war.

A group of U.S. and Iranian religious leaders recently made a joint call to avoid war and instead choose diplomacy, human rights, and peace.

"If action to transform violent conflicts is not taken now, the horrors of war and devastation will spread ... We can not allow that to happen.”

This week, we crossed a dangerous threshold into a world without nuclear arms control.

This moment must be a wake up call that spurs a renewed commitment to cooperation over catastrophe.

There is no time to lose. The stakes are far too high for inaction.

Violence is not the greatest force in the 'real world.' People of faith know this. (RNS) — In the U.S., militarism pervades our politics, economy, society and culture. That’s a choice — not a destiny.

Members of Congress must call for restraint and pass a War Powers Resolution to block Pres. Trump from launching authorized military strikes. #WarIsNotTheAnswer

Grieving every life lost in Iran and urging an end to all violence and repression. Congress should act to prevent more senseless wars by the White House and support a path for diplomacy and democracy.

No to Wars of Conquest in Venezuela and Beyond Trump's attempt to take control of Venezuela threatens to repeat some of the worst moral, strategic failures of past U.S. military adventurism

🚨 Did you hear the big news about today's Senate war powers vote on Venezuela?

@bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social breaks down what to know about this hopeful step forward, and where we go from here. 👇

War is not the Answer

War is not the answer in Venezuela. In Colombia. In Mexico. In Cuba. In Iran. In Nigeria. In Somalia.

War is not the answer. Period.

The Trump administration must respect the will of the people in Minnesota. They are endangering Americans.

Powerful statement from the Minnesota AFL-CIO ⬇️, which represents more than 1,000 unions in the state:

"We stand in solidarity with committed residents who find the courage every day to protect their immigrant neighbors and coworkers from ICE agents violently trampling our constitutional rights."

Take a few minutes to add your voice. Tell Congress: No war with Venezuela!

War is not the answer.

🕊️Our representatives in Congress need to hear from us loud and clear.

'None of This Is Legal... Trump Should Be Impeached': Will Congress Act Against Trump Lawlessness? | Common Dreams Fresh calls for President Trump's impeachment arise after illegal invasion of Venezuela.

📣👉"The power to declare war belongs to Congress and the American people," NOT the president.

“Trump has once again taken power that’s not his. He is attempting to drag the country into war by decree."

Congress must stop him.

Trump and His Cronies Want a War in the Western Hemisphere Don’t be fooled by the anti-interventionist language. The Trump administration is only too eager to use military force.

We can - and must - build a better and more peaceful world.

"One that meets the needs of the majority of its people, rather than endlessly squandering precious resources on war and preparations for more of it."

A timely and grounding piece from William Hartung in @thenation.com 👇

US actions in Venezuela ‘constitute a dangerous precedent’: Guterres The UN Secretary-General António Guterres has said he is “deeply alarmed” over the standoff between the United States and Venezuela in recent months, which culminated on Saturday morning in the captur...

🌐New: U.N. officials are sounding the alarm over the dangerous precedent set by President Trump's attack on Venezuela and disregard for the U.N. charter.

“A peaceful, safe and just world for everyone is only possible if the rule of law prevails instead of might makes right."

Excellent article that all Friends should read.

President Trump’s claim today that the United States will “run the country” following this attack is deeply concerning and a clear violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty.

Our full statement:

FCNL strongly condemns the U.S. government’s illegal attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

Congress must reassert its war authority and stop the Trump administration’s reckless war-making. #WarIsNotTheAnswer
