War hurts working people, poor people, women, and children. While authoritarian rulers, would-be dictators, and the billionaires that finance endless violence conspire together to enrich themselves and grab at ever more power, it is regular working people who pay the price. 

Without Constitutional authority, Congressional authorization, or the backing of the American people, Trump has created further chaos and instability in the world. Launching a regime-change war in Iran is one more example of this administration’s deadly recklessness and disregard for the law. 

SEIU stands with workers in Iran and all over the world fighting for better, safer lives. We know the power of working people together and we will oppose this and any other move by this administration that harms workers, our families, or our communities.

Congress must act immediately to end this unconstitutional aggression and safeguard working people in America, Iran, and around the globe.
