Urgent Yemen Briefing and Action Steps to Stop the Saudi Arms Sales
When: Monday, June 5 from 8-9pm EST
Call (605) 472-5575 Access Code 944808#
President Trump is trying to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Yemen even further with a $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia. The weapons he is authorizing companies like Lockheed Martin to sell to the Saudi regime will be used to drop even more bombs on the already devastated population in Yemen. Currently a child dies every 10 minutes from malnutrition in Yemen as a result of US-supported Saudi bombings. It is imperative Saudi Arabia not receive any more US weapons!
Join the call on Monday to learn how we can stop Trump’s weapons deal with the Saudis and sign the petition to Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson asking her not to sell weapons to the Saudi regime.
On the call we will hear from Kate Kizer, Director of Policy & Advocacy for the Yemen Peace Project and Kate Gould, Legislative Representative for Middle East Policy at Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL).
Congress has only a limited amount of time to stop Trump’s arms deal with Saudi Arabia. President Trump has become a global salesman for companies like Lockheed Martin. But instead helping the weapons industry and arming dictators, he should be pushing Saudi Arabia to announce a ceasefire and negotiate a political solution.
Towards peace,
