Tell Congress: Vote NO on additional funding for Trump’s war on Iran! The Pentagon is preparing to request that Congress approve a supplemental funding package of at least $50 billion (we’re even hearing possibly over $100 billion!) to help finance Trump’s illegal, unpopular war on Iran. This comes after Pentagon officials told senators last week that only the first six days of the war cost $11.3 billion. To date, it is estimated that the U.S. has already spent nearly $15 billion on this war. Worryingly, Democrats who have said they oppose this war are now open to voting Yes on supplemental funding. The reasoning sounds sensible to some people: We’re already in it, so we have to make sure the troops are funded, and we can use the money as leverage to force Trump to spell out his goals. Neither Chuck Schumer nor Hakeem Jeffries — the top Democrats in the Senate and House — has clearly promised to vote No. Please take a moment now to send a message to your Members of Congress urging them to vote NO on any supplemental funding for Trump’s war on Iran!

New York State Budget: SEND A LETTER: Tell Governor Hochul, Tax the Rich and Invest in Our Communities! New York’s affordability crisis has reached a breaking point. Poor and working families are being crushed by rising costs of essentials like rent, healthcare, groceries, and childcare. New Yorkers deserve more than half measures. While Trump dishes out tax breaks to billionaires, NY State leadership can and MUST take bold action to raise taxes on the ultra rich and invest in working families. Send A Letter

Tell the Senate to Vote ‘No’ on the SAVE Act! The House approved the latest version of the SAVE Act last month, a horrible voter-suppression bill that would require a passport or an original birth certificate to register to vote. Considering that 21 million American citizens don’t have immediate access to either of those documents, the SAVE Act is incredibly dangerous to our right to be heard at the ballot box. The Senate will likely vote on the bill this week, even though Majority Leader John Thune has said “the votes aren’t there”. Democrats can continue to stop it if they stay united in opposition. If the Democrats filibuster the Act, 60 votes will be needed to advance the bill. Tell your Senator to Stop the SAVE Act!

Syracuse Street Heat
Syracuse Street Heat is just one, very unencumbered way to work for peace and social justice. We’re part of a decades-long grassroots tradition here. We stand out and stand up for what we stand for. Bring your own sign – or use one of ours. No meetings or committees, so participation time is minimal (yay!)
EVERY FRIDAY from 4:00 to 4:45 p.m.
Focused on the war in the middle East…Israel’s military genocide of Gaza and invasion of Lebanon. We disperse along the sidewalk with our signs at the very busy intersection of Erie Blvd East and East Genesee St. (across from the DeWitt fire station; park in the nearby mini mall lot.) When the temperature is below 20 degrees, we cancel! Learn more on Syracuse Peace Council’s website.
