Resolution Against the War in Iran

Whereas on Saturday, February 28, President Donald Trump oversaw military strikes in Iran alongside the state of Israel, which hit most prominently a girls’ school resulting in over 100 dead; and

Whereas Congress was never consulted on, nor approved, such military strikes, in direct contradiction of separation of powers in the United States Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 8; and

Whereas such wars are proposed, led, and financed by the ruling class to enrich themselves and consolidate their power, and are paid for with the lives of the working class; and

Whereas workers all over the globe, from the U.S. to Iran, are struggling under undemocratic systems led by elites more concerned with maintaining power than building just, ethical, and life-sustaining systems that allow all people to thrive; and

Therefore be it resolved that our union believes all workers and their families deserve to live in dignity and peace without the fear of being bombed in their schools, homes, and workplaces; and

Be it further resolved that our union denounces and calls for an immediate end to all U.S. military action in Iran; and

Be it further resolved that our union calls for the reinvestment of funds currently committed to war into civil society for the improvement of health, education, and other social goods; and

Be it further resolved that our union will mobilize members to call on their locally and federally elected leaders to reject U.S. aggression in Iran and around the world, and demand an end to the war; and

Be it further resolved that our union will provide members with information on local events happening against the war in Iran and encourage their attendance as proud union members.
