Applaud Democrats Standing Up for Peace

In a moment of crisis, Democratic leaders are stepping up to defend the Constitution, protect human life, and demand accountability at the highest level. After Donald Trump launched a surprise military attack on Venezuela — without congressional authorization and with devastating consequences — Democratic lawmakers are courageously calling out an abuse of power and raising the alarm about impeachable conduct.

Reps. Delia Ramirez, Maxine Waters, Dan Goldman, Jared Huffman, Eric Swalwell, and others are making it clear: no president is above the law. By speaking out against an unconstitutional act of war, misleading the public, and endangering global stability, they are reaffirming Congress’s role as a co-equal branch of government and standing up for democratic norms at a time when they are under direct threat.

This is what leadership looks like — refusing to normalize authoritarian behavior, defending the rule of law, and putting the safety of people over political convenience. These Democrats are showing the courage it takes to confront abuse of power and insist that accountability still matters.

Add your name to applaud these Democrats for standing up for the Constitution, demanding accountability for unlawful war-making, and defending peace, democracy, and the lives of people at home and abroad!
