DESCRIPTION:Greetings Comrades,\n\nOn August 8th, 2018: Saudi Arabia hit a schoolbus, 
 killing dozens of people, many of them school children in Saada, Yemen. 
 This act was a violation of international humanitarian law-a war crime. 
 \nThe war in Yemen has been called the "worlds worst humanitarian crisis in 
 decades" and "the forgotten war". Since 2015, U.S. forces­ have provided 
 logistical and intelligence support to the Saudi-led coalition. We have 
 also until recently been providing mid-air refueling of coalition warplanes 
 that have been bombing Yemen. Furthermore, the U.S. has been the leading 
 arms supplier to Saudi Arabia. Trump on arm sales to the Kingdom: "calling 
 the Saudis important regional partners and praising weapons sales as an 
 important source of US jobs". Our bombs are killing Yemenis, who we are 
 also banning. Since 2015: over 90,000 Yemenis have been killed, some over 
 85,000 Yemeni children have starved to death. \n\nWe are calling on people 
 of conscience to organize an event in your area in this month of August, 
 that were calling the #GlobalMonthofActionForYemen to commemorate a year 
 since the bombing of a schoolbus killing 40 Yemeni school children, and to 
 resist normalizing war in OUR name. Yemeni-Americans in collaboration with 
 anti-war organizers are cooridnating actions across the country this 
 August. \n\nHow you can participate in your area, host a: Vigil, Protest, 
 Poetry Night, Art Exhibit, lobby visit to Congressional Reps/Senators, 
 digital campaign amplifying participants efforts. Make sure to center the 
 voices of Yemeni-Americans, and if possible, tie in other communities 
 impacted by war. Together we can help give a voice to the impacted people 
 of Yemen and subsequently hold our politicians accountable for waging 
 unauthorized wars. \n\nWe hope we can count on you in this fight against 
 immoral wars, and against the role of our government in sustaining the 
 worlds worst man made crisis! For coordination and to amplify your efforts, 
 Please send your event details to yemenialliacecommittee@gmail.com OR 
 submit your event here: https://www.actioncorps.org/yemen by emailing: 
 national@actioncorps.org.\n\nPlease ask your Reps and Senators to end US 
 support to the Saudi-lede coalition thats been bombing #Yemen for over four 
 years AND to Ban arms sales to Saudi Arabia/UAE, by calling 202-224-3121.
