Peace Action’s 2024 Class

SENATE

__

CALIFORNIA

Barbara Lee (D-CA-Senate)

Barbara Lee has been a champion for peace during her long career in Congress. She famously faced criticism and even death threats for casting the lone vote against the 2001 Authorization of Use of Military Force that kicked off the US invasion of Afghanistan and the decades-long “War on Terror.” In Barbara’s words:

“While we cannot reverse the damage already done, we can take action to prevent such grave, costly mistakes in the future. Let’s be clear: the American people do not want endless war… For two decades, I have been fighting to get Congress to reassert its war powers that have been abused far too often by administrations in both parties… It’s far past time we put decisions of military action back in the hands of the people and Congress, as the constitution intended. I call upon my colleagues in the Senate and House, Republicans and Democrats, to come together to take back our constitutional obligation to debate matters of war and peace.”

MICHIGAN

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12)

“My residents sent me to Washington to be a fierce defender of their priorities and fight to enact policies that would make a meaningful difference in their lives. This bill does not meet that standard and is a $768-billion missed opportunity to address my residents’ priorities. I support—and have since my first day in office—the long-overdue dismantling of our country’s military-industrial complex so that we can finally put a stop to forever wars and reinvest into providing our communities with the resources they need and deserve.”

MINNESOTA

Ilhan Omar (D-MN-05)

“Now is not the time to spend billions of dollars to bolster our defense budget while millions of Americans remain housing and food insecure. I am shocked that this Congress continues to spend over $700 billion on wasteful weapons contracts and Pentagon waste, and then turns around and calls for cuts to programs that help the poor, the elderly and the sick. We should be investing in the American people, not in weapons manufacturers.”

MISSOURI

Cori Bush (D-MO-01)

“The future of our country’s foreign policy must be explicitly anti-war. No more bloated defense budgets that line the pockets of military contractors. No more drone strikes and bombs. No more death and destruction. We must invest in humanity both at home and abroad.”

NEW YORK

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14)

“During a time when our country is withdrawing from foreign wars, when COVID 19 and its fallout is one of the greatest threats that we face, when record levels of unemployment, housing and healthcare crises are among us, the United States should be reducing its military spending by at least 10% and prioritize the very needs of our communities here at home.”

Jamaal Bowman (D-NY-16)

“For too long, our nation’s spending priorities have been out of whack, and I believe this White House understands that it’s past time for Americans’ money to be spent building roads, schools, and businesses here at home instead of destroying them overseas.”
