Stop attacking Yemen. This is unacceptable

To: Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Murray, Rep. Baumgartner

From: A constituent in Kettle Falls, WA

March 17

Trump's decision to launch further military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen is deeply concerning and will likely lead to more civilian casualties. Dozens have already been killed according to reports, including women and children. This escalation risks dragging the US into an intractable conflict and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. A sustained air campaign over weeks or months could devastate the country further. While the Houthis' attacks on commercial shipping are unacceptable, meeting violence with violence will only breed more violence. I urge you to use your influence to reverse course on this military escalation and pursue a diplomatic resolution, providing robust humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people who have already suffered immensely. Yemen cannot afford another protracted war - its people need peace and rebuilding, not more bombing campaigns.
