“The world cannot afford yet another endless war. As the global community works on solutions to bring this conflict [in Ukraine] to an end, we have a responsibility as the world’s oldest democracy to lead with diplomacy and humanity.

John Fetterman (D-PA-Senate)
“We live in a complex, ever-changing world that requires American leadership and diplomacy. But unfortunately throughout the course of my lifetime, we’ve followed the direction of too many saber-rattling ‘experts’ out there who have led us down the road toward costly wars of choice. And it’s those costly wars of choice that have put too many American men and women into harm’s way. We should be engaging in preventive diplomacy, and proactively working with other countries to improve relations — not just reaching out to them when things go south. We should embrace a foreign policy framework that will not bankrupt future generations and allow us to hit our own domestic priorities.”

Mandela Barnes (D-WI-Senate)
“For too long, we put our troops in harm’s way while spending trillions on an endless war that was entering a third decade of conflict. We must honor their sacrifice by safely evacuating every American and honoring our commitment to ensuring the safety of our allies on the ground and provide humanitarian assistance to those devastated by the Taliban…I will never back down from my duty to protect American lives while building a more just world and working tirelessly to secure human rights for all.”

Kevin Mullin (D-CA-15)
“When millions are homeless, living paycheck to paycheck, and without affordable healthcare, the current over inflation of the Pentagon budget during a time of peace needs to be addressed. Increasing funding for education, healthcare, infrastructure, and decreasing the bloated Pentagon budget will be a top priority for me in Congress. Diplomacy must come first. Our country must continue to engage in the world by elevating diplomacy and building multinational coalitions to address global challenges. The United States spends 13 times more on the military than on diplomacy. We need to rebuild the State Department, end forever wars, draw down our military engagement, and enable local partners.”

Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL-10)
“All around, military spending is too high and there are many individual programs that tax-payers fund too highly and don’t reap any benefits. It is important that the United States invests in research of universal COVID-19 cures and vaccines that can be shared with the entire world before spending more money on lethal and unnecessary weapons. How we use our money shows where our priorities are, our exuberant pentagon spending keeps us from truly taking care of our people.”

“I strongly believe that diplomacy must be the foundation of U.S. foreign policy. The United States has a stronger position on the world stage when we stand with our allies to confront global challenges. On urgent issues ranging from counterterrorism to nuclear proliferation, and climate change to human rights advocacy, the United States must mobilize our international partners to meet the challenges of the 21st century.”

The bloody civil war has claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Yemenis and more than 20 million are threatened by famine as this humanitarian crisis escalates.

Odessa Kelly (D-TN-07)
“I believe that our foreign policy should be rooted in diplomacy above all else – especially after we’ve seen decades of endless wars and their failures. Cutting the defense budget and targeting things like new spending on nuclear weapons signals to the American people that their needs at home are more important than the profits of defense contractors who lobby for bottomless Pentagon budgets.”

“We have to lead by example and use our bargaining power to encourage countries to improve labor, environmental, and human rights across the world. Combating climate change is very much dependent on changing our foreign policy to stop the disproportionate emission contributions from our military and trade deals. And most importantly, enough with sending our young people to the frontlines fighting wars for defense contractors and big donors.”
