Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) will force a vote in the House tomorrow on H.Con.Res. 84, which would direct the removal of U.S. armed forces from participation in hostilities in Lebanon. We know President Trump and his Administration have been in direct coordination with Israel’s devastation of Lebanon.

This vote will be a clear indictment of whether Members of Congress approve of the U.S.’s involvement in Israel’s invasion, occupation, and destruction of Lebanon.

Click the link in our bio to email your Representative now and demand they vote YES on H.Con.Res. 84.
