Rep. Ilhan Omar just announced a visionary foreign policy legislative
package. Let’s show her our support by endorsing her Path to PEACE
(Progressive, Equitable, and Constructive Engagement)!

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is one of the few people in Congress who
consistently advocates for diplomacy and for a fundamental shift in our
militaristic foreign policy. We are excited to announce that she just
unveiled a bold set of legislation titled a Path to Peace—which represents
a radical new approach to global affairs that moves from militarism to
policies based on peacebuilding, human rights and international law.

*Add your name to this letter of support for Representative Ilhan Omar and
her Path to Peace. Help make sure that she knows that people throughout the
country support her foreign policy vision!

For far too long, the DC establishment has not listened to the wide
majority of Americans who prefer diplomacy to war and would rather see our
vast military spending invested here at home. Only a small number of our
senators and representatives speak out about these key issues, and Omar is
among those who are the most vocal. Let’s support her exciting new vision
of how to transform U.S. foreign policy.

*Her package of legislation includes:*

   - a bill that would give Congress more power to limit sanctions by
   limiting the ability of the executive branch to wage economic war without
   congressional oversight;
   - legislation to reduce support to countries that commit abuses;
   - a $5 billion transfer of military funding to create a Global
   Peacebuilding Fund;
   - proposals to require the U.S. to join UN agreements on children’s
   rights and migration and International Criminal Court;
   - a direction to U.S. officials to craft a robust international deal to
   address the massive displacement of people around the world.

Her bill on sanctions is so critical right now, when the Trump
administration’s unprecedented use of brutal sanctions are killing innocent
civilians from Iran to Venezuela to North Korea. Representative Omar’s bill
would strengthen humanitarian aid exceptions and would have Congress
periodically review sanctions to ensure they do not have unintended and
harmful consequences for civilians.

Given the makeup of the Senate and the fact that President Trump would
never approve bills limiting presidential powers, it’s unlikely that
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s legislation will pass. Yet we think of these
bills as a framework for a foreign policy that, as she wrote in an op-ed
last March, “centers on human rights, justice and peace as the pillars of
America’s engagement in the world, one that brings our troops home and
truly makes military action a last resort.” It’s what we want to see in our
future, and the more noise we make about it, the more we help move our
country in the right direction.

Progressive, Equitable and Constructive Engagement, or PEACE, is a great
acronym for a foreign policy vision that we can get behind. *Sign this
letter of support for Rep Omar and share it with our friends, family and
colleagues.

CODEPINK has praised Representative Ilhan Omar for her support of the
Palestinian people and her calls for an end to the war in Yemen, as well as
for her bravery in consistently speaking truth to power (remember when she
challenged Eliott Abrams for his role in crimes against humanity in El
Salvador?). We stood by her when she was viciously smeared by Trump and
again when she was hung out to dry by Democratic leadership for daring to
criticize Israel and support the right of Americans to boycott Israel.
We’re standing by her now as she takes action to change our militaristic
foreign policy.

Towards the path to PEACE,
*Teri, Ann, Ariel, Asia, Ayanni, Carley, Caty, Cody, Emily, Jodie,
Leonardo, Makena, Medea, Michelle, Nancy, Paki, Teri, and Tighe*
