- Condemn Donald Trump's Reckless Act of War in Syria... And Organize to Stop More Endless, Senseless WarÂ
President Trump unilaterally and recklessly launched a military action in Syria on Thursday with no apparent plan for what comes next and with no legal authorization. This is not leadership and it will not make our country safer nor end the tragic human suffering in Syria. Make no mistake, this was an illegal act of war, launched in violation of the U.S. Constitution and international law.- Call members of Congress (202-224-3121) and WhiteHouse (202-456-1111. ) Demand U.S. negotiations, not war, with Syrian & Russian governments.
- Tell Congress: Cancel recess and vote on Trump's war in Syria.
- Take action: Stop U.S. from making
#Syria war even worse. Tell Congress: Don't let the U.S. escalate the war in Syria.
- RSVP for a Medicare For All rally in your city or state on Saturday (4/8)

Why Your Ongoing Support Is Essential
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations.

Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
