Enough.
Enough of criminal wars, genocide, and the enormous profits flowing to war contractors and oil companies.’
Enough of policies that are devastating communities at home and abroad—from Iran, Palestine, Venezuela and Cuba to our own neighborhoods.
Enough to the power of the Israel lobby over our lives.
Enough of spending trillions on war while families struggle with the rising costs of food, housing, energy, healthcare, childcare, transportation, and education.
Enough of the assault on our country: ICE raids, Racism, Climate destruction, mass surveillance, and government increasingly shaped by billionaire wealth.
Enough kidnappings! Release the President and first lady of Venezuela: Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores. Stop the lethal boat strikes across the Caribbean and Pacific.
Enough of Emperor Donald and his courtiers in D.C.
We insist that human needs, peace, justice, democracy, and a livable planet be placed ahead of endless war and corporate profit.
