This a local Eastern Panhandle Indivisible event! NO WAR ON IRAN: POWER TO THE PEOPLE The streets are calling. It is time to answer. Right now, American and Iranian lives are being traded for a conflict that no one voted for. We are witnessing an unauthorized, unconstitutional escalation—a war ignited in the shadows without the Congressional approval required by the supreme law of our land. A Trillion-Dollar Betrayal While our own communities struggle with crumbling infrastructure, a healthcare crisis, and rising costs of living, the administration is funneling our future into a military budget that has now surpassed one trillion dollars. We are told there is no money for the American people, yet there is always a blank check for a new war. Iran is Not the Enemy The people of Iran are not our adversaries. They are families, students, and workers—just like us—caught in the crossfire of elite interests. The true "enemy" is the unchecked expansion of the war machine that profits while soldiers and civilians’ bleed. War Without Consent The administration has bypassed the checks and balances of our democracy. By moving without a mandate and without clear public backing, they have silenced the voice of the people. • The Constitution is clear: Only Congress has the power to declare war. • The People are clear: We refuse to enter a broader conflict on the whim of the executive branch. AMERICA HAS NO KINGS! PEACE IS PATRIOTIC! When planning your protest signs and banners, choose slogans that are clear and convey your message against the war. Poster/statement ideas: “Funds for People, Not War!” “No War with Iran,” “Peace Now, Diplomacy First,” "Stop Military Escalation.” "Peace is Patriotic" "NO KINGS" "No Sanctions. No War." "Solidarity, not sanctions". Suggestions: As you design signs, consider adding symbols like a peace dove, olive branch, or peace sign to visually reinforce the message. These visuals connect emotionally with onlookers and communicate unity across languages and cultures — especially important for all inclusive rallies. A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
