DESCRIPTION:On March 4th at 4pm activists will gather in front of the Oakland Federal 
 Building to demand that Congressional representative Barbara Lee to join 
 Representatives Jayapal (D-WA) and Defazio(D-OR) and endorse a War Powers 
 Resolution to end US support for the War in Yemen. The conflict in Yemen 
 has raged for over 7 years and is the greatest humanitarian crisis in the 
 world today. The war is being waged by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia, a 
 key US ally in the middle east. The Saudi War effort is entirely dependent 
 on US political and military support. \n	One year ago, President Biden 
 pledged to end support for “offensive” action in Yemen. Since that 
 time, the war has only escalated with Biden's recent pledge to send more 
 fighter jets and weapons in the last month. A war Powers Resolution would 
 end the US's role in supporting a terrible blockade that is starving the 
 country as Saudi Arabia drops bombs on civilian targets. Congress has 
 allowed this war to go on long enough\n\nWe demand that and end the the War 
 in Yemen! We demand a War Powers resolution!\n\nThis protests is endorsed 
 by United Against War and Militarism, Hands off Yemen, Malaya Movement East 
 Bay and the Palestinian Youth Movement.\n
